Companies in the news:
Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX:RCI.B) Up 23 cents, or 0.40 per cent, to $57.63 — Canada's Competition Tribunal has ruled that the Rogers Communications Inc. July 8 service outage is relevant to the upcoming hearings on the telecom giant's $26-billion takeover of Shaw Communications Inc. The ruling was made Friday after hearing submissions from Rogers and the Commissioner of Competition on the matter. The outage affected millions of Canadians, and to make sure it doesn't happen again, Rogers is committing $10 billion over three years on network upgrades and will spend $150 million on customer credits. The ruling comes after Rogers released a commercial last week outlining what it is doing to earn back the trust of Canadians.
Royal Bank of Canada. (TSX:RBC). Up 10 cents, or 0.08 per cent, to $125.07 — RBC's climate policies have been deemed mild enough to pass a Texas test on whether banks are boycotting oil and gas companies. State Comptroller Glenn Hegar last week named 10 financial institutions including BlackRock Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG and UBS Group AG that it deems to be boycotting fossil fuels, which under a law passed last year means they are barred from participating in the state's sizable bond market. The state's definition of boycotting energy companies includes any action, without ordinary business purpose, taken to limit a bank's commercial relations with an oil and gas company because it does not go beyond minimum environmental requirements. RBC was one of 19 financial institutions that Texas flagged for further investigation, in part because of the bank's commitment to net-zero lending by 2050.
