Communication Services Stocks — Telecom, Media, Internet
The Communication Services sector includes companies that facilitate communication and provide related services. This sector contains sub-sectors such as telecommunication services, media, and entertainment.
Why invest
A Canadian investor may want exposure to the Communication Services sector for diversification benefits, as it can provide a unique mix of growth and income opportunities. This sector can also be attractive based on a macro thesis, such as increasing demand for digital services.
