Earnings dominated the week. TELUS reported a $660 million third-quarter net loss tied to an $800 million goodwill impairment at TELUS Health and announced an efficiency program targeting about $900 million in annualized cash savings exiting 2028. TDS lowered TDS Telecom's 2026 revenue guidance, raised its capital expenditure outlook and authorized an incremental $250 million buyback. AudioCodes posted revenue growth of 4.2% to $64.1 million and says recurring revenue in its Live and VoiceAI segments grew 16%. Capital returns were a common thread: TDS and AudioCodes both repurchased shares during the quarter.

On the network side, Verizon and Ericsson expanded work on AI-driven radio access network automation, with a national rollout of the Ericsson Intelligent Controller planned this year. Ceragon added RADWIN's sub-6 GHz wireless access products to its portfolio, and Cavli Wireless previewed an LTE Cat 1bis module and an AI firmware coding assistant ahead of electronica 2026. TELUS also named two new directors, and Applied Optoelectronics disclosed inducement grants to new employees.
