On November 5, American Tower rose 3.95% in Regular Trading, trading at $195.315, with turnover of $165 million.
The move was accompanied by strength across Telecom Tower REITs, with SBA Communications Corp up 7.67% and Crown Castle up 5.43%, while recent attention remained on American Tower’s post-earnings operating resilience.
American Tower reported third-quarter AFFO of $2.87 per share and revenue of $2.79 billion, both above market expectations. Core property revenue rose 4.5% year over year, the company repurchased about $315 million of stock during the quarter, and its board authorized an additional $2.0 billion buyback. Although some firms lowered price targets after earnings, the combination of solid cash flow, buyback support, and a stronger tower-sector backdrop appears to be the most direct explanation for the stock’s rise.
