SBA Communications initiated with a Market Perform at Bernstein

Bernstein initiated coverage of SBA Communications (SBAC) with a Market Perform rating and $218 price target The firm notes SBA used to be a bit of a renegade in the tower world, prioritizing early market entry, site control, and optionality. While that strategy has been adjusted to meet current market conditions, it still tolerates more risk than its peers, particularly with its emerging markets focus. This exposure drives faster revenue growth but comes with margin pressure as the geographic mix shifts, Bernstein argues.
