Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$148.44

-12.2% from spot

The Base scenario represents the modal expected path for American Tower. U.S. and Canadian macro towers deliver stable organic tenant billings growth of ~4.5%, but consolidated property revenue growth in 2026 is muted at 0% on an FX-neutral basis due to DISH network churn (~400 bps headwind). CoreSite maintains ~15% organic growth, though Stonepeak's conversion to ~36% equity ownership dilutes retained economics. Refinancing debt at 6.35% imposes an ongoing 150 bps drag, anchoring fair value at $148.44.

Domestic organic tenant billings grow at ~4.5%, offset by DISH churn headwind of ~400 bps.
CoreSite data center revenue compounds at approximately 15%.
Refinancing creates an ongoing 150 bps drag on AFFO growth on $44,963.9 million in debt.
Capital returns equal approximately $3.3 billion (~5% growth).

Bull15%

Price target

$164.25

-2.8% from spot

In the Bull scenario, CoreSite data center expansion accelerates organic revenue growth beyond 15%, leveraging its highly interconnected ecosystem and capacity expansion runway. Simultaneously, domestic wireless carriers transition from initial 5G coverage into intensive network densification, deploying mid-band C-band spectrum onto existing macro towers. Operating leverage expands tower operating margins by 200 to 300 basis points by 2030, supporting intrinsic value toward the high end of our fair value range ($164.25).

CoreSite data center organic revenue growth accelerates to 17%+, supported by pipeline to triple capacity.
Carrier C-band densification drives colocation additions, expanding tower operating margins by 200-300 bps by 2030.
DISH churn and refinancing headwinds subside post-2026, allowing FX-neutral attributable AFFO per share growth to re-accelerate toward 7%.
