American Tower outlines 2026 strategic priorities and growth outlook
AMT
Legal Proceedings
New Projects/Investments
  • Strategic pillars for 2026 include maximizing organic growth, disciplined cost management, selective CapEx in developed markets, and maintaining an investment-grade balance sheet to drive industry-leading AFFO per share growth.
  • DISH litigation risk: DISH accounts for ~2% of global revenues (≈$200 million/year) with potential exposure net-present-valued at $1.5–2 billion; American Tower filed suit in late 2025 to enforce a 2021 MLA through 2036.
  • US tower market outlook: mobile data usage has grown ~35% annually, and carriers are shifting from 5G coverage builds into quality and capacity densification—supporting mid-single-digit organic growth and laying groundwork for 6G deployments.
  • Emerging-market trends: Latin America to see low growth in 2026–27 amid Brazilian churn and carrier bankruptcies, while Africa posts double-digit leasing growth offset by FX volatility; Mexico’s 5G investment remains on hold pending spectrum policy.
  • CoreSite momentum: robust interconnection demand and record megawatt developments underpin expectations for upper single-digit to double-digit growth and position the business for edge computing synergies.

  • Steve Vondran details four strategic pillars for 2026: maximize organic growth, disciplined cost management, focus discretionary CapEx on developed markets, and sustain an investment-grade balance sheet to drive industry-leading AFFO per share growth.
  • Ongoing litigation with DISH represents 2% of global revenues (~$200 million annually) and is valued at $1.5–$2 billion in present-value risk.
  • In the U.S., with initial 5G coverage largely complete, carriers are now prioritizing quality and capacity improvements—via site amendments and densification—supported by 35% annual mobile data growth over the past three years.
  • The company is reallocating discretionary CapEx toward the U.S., Europe and CoreSite (targeting high single- to double-digit growth), while dynamically comparing stock buybacks versus investment returns to optimize capital deployment.
