Argus Research Sticks to Their Buy Rating for American Tower (AMT)We are reiterating our BUY rating on American Tower Corp. (NYSE: AMT). The shares responded more than many peers to REIT and Tech sector trading trends in 2024 and potential momentum in 2025 is behind our revised target price of $235, down from $242. The company is a leader in tower services, and while domestic mobile spending has flattened, the company is focusing on international expansion of 5G networks and growth in mobile data consumption. It is also expanding into the data center market through its joint venture ownership of CoreSite, which we see as a positive. AMT’s strength is in its tower business model. The company owns and leases land and tower access to wireless, radio, and television companies, with multiple tenants per tower.

Analysts Conflicted on These Real Estate Names: Tanger (NYSE: SKT), Lamar Advertising (NASDAQ: LAMR) and American Tower (NYSE: AMT)We are looking for management to discuss 1) 2025 guidance, 2) US domestic activity and its services business, 3) international churn cadence (mainly 4) FX movements, and 5) capital allocation priorities once below 5x leverage (buybacks versus M&A). We remain relatively in-line with the 2025 estimates (see Exhibit 1). AMT remains our 2025 top tower pick. We prefer AMT for its 1) peer-leading AFFO/sh growth, 2) holistic MLA domestic contract structure which provides stability, and 3) diverse international and data center exposure. We expect 2025 could be a year of modest rebound for the domestic Tower business after a lull in 2024. Still, any sort of observable revenue acceleration will likely be in 2H25.
