Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$148.18

-19.2% from spot

The modal base case path reflects steady operational execution anchored by contractual domestic escalators and international CPI adjustments, delivering steady revenue growth. Sprint consolidation churn and EchoStar churn create near-term domestic revenue headwinds, but normalized operating margins hold steady. The primary forward earnings and discounted cash flow models yield a composite Fair value of $148.18.

Domestic site leasing revenue expands at a steady pace consistent with contractual baseline escalations across FY2026 and FY2027
Normalized operating EBIT margin of 46.5% and post-earnings FY2027 consensus EPS of $8.18
Exit multiple of 18.0x P/E and computed WACC of 7.684%

Bull20%

Price target

$206.36

+12.5% from spot

In the upside scenario, US carriers rapidly accelerate fifth-generation mid-band cell site densification to alleviate wireless data congestion, driving domestic colocation amendment growth well above historical baselines. Simultaneously, international tower builds exceed targets, delivering robust CPI-linked escalations. Accretive execution under the authorized share repurchase program compounds per-share cash flow, elevating Fair value toward $206.36.

Accelerated carrier fifth-generation mid-band deployments and edge computing additions on existing towers
International tower construction exceeds annual build targets with day-one returns above cost of capital
Diluted EPS growth accelerates and valuation multiples expand toward historical peak ranges
