American Tower (AMT) is facing a complex outlook as current reviews suggest a dual perspective on its investment viability. On one hand, there is increasing concern regarding a slowdown in tower demand, which has led to perceptions that AMT might not be as compelling an investment as it once was. Conversely, experts acknowledge that the company is fundamentally strong, benefiting from a wide economic moat that provides it with a competitive advantage. This resilience makes the stock sensitive to external factors such as interest rates; should interest rates decline, it could lead to a significant uptick in share prices. This suggests that American Tower remains a robust player in its field, but potential investors should be mindful of market fluctuations and demand trends.

TOP PICK

As the largest operator of wireless towers, charging big American cell companies to put their equipment on their towers, AMT will benefit from the oncoming 5G revolution. Problem is, a lot of investors already know this, and you're not buying American Tower for its 1.56% dividend yield. (Kim Bolton does not expect the dividend to rise this year as in the past.) AMT has already hit its $262.50 price target, dating back to early May shortly, before it jumped from $228. In the past month, AMT has been rangebound between $250 and the current $264. However, in that month AMT has fallen sharply four times and rebounded fairly swiftly to establish a consistent pattern. Traders could jump on another pullback and, as mentioned above, we are expecting volatility this month. Also in AMT's favour is that consumers continue to use more data, whether there are future lockdowns (in areas) or not. The street considers AMT stable and defensive. Perhaps there won't be much upside, but you can sleep at night and tuck this away for a long while.

COMMENT

CCI vs AMT? He owns both. They are both tower businesses operating in the US. CCI also has a small cell business -- mini towers in urban centres. 5G will require these small cell towers and this gives more leverage to 5G. However, AMT has more diversification as they have a larger global footprint. Sometimes CCI overstates reporting results, which although not a concern at this time, it does make AMT a little easier to follow. At current valuations, CCI is better value and better positioned for the 5G roll out.

COMMENT

He does not own AMT today. In 5G, he prefers CSCO and NOK.

TOP PICK

There is so much more data usage working from home. 5G is coming and will be revolutionary. They will charge more rent on towers for the equipment. He loves it. (Analysts’ price target is $262.50)

PARTIAL BUY

As a 5G play? Entry point? Buy some now, if you don't own it, then follow it and buy another tranche. He buys in systems of three tranches. AMT is a leader in towers for 5G. They are aggressive in Africa. They pay a decent yield below 2% that they likely won't increase this year as in past years.

DON'T BUY

A huge player in cell phone towers. They are in an amazing position. Unfortunately their shares are too expensive for him. There is other stuff on sale.

BUY

It has benefited from a secular change. With 5G you are making a bet on that with this stock as it will give them continued growth. They are stable and global and you always have to weigh global risk.

BUY

Likes it. Largest operator of wireless towers. A lease on data. Consumption of data is increasing. Low beta vs. the S&P. Won't jump as much when the market bounces, but a nice long-term name to own.

BUY

For a 5G play, he would bet on Apple because everyone will need to buy a new phone. American Tower is a 5G play, and they charge rent from telecomms for their towers and equipment. They can't lose in that opportunity. The company is also figuring out new ways to increase the rent base.

BUY

This REIT has growth, and growth is more important than a high yield. This plays directly into 5G beautifully. He owns few REITs but likes this one.

BUY

They are dominant in the US. They don’t have the small tower business but they have a global footprint. There are many markets globally that are not mature. This is a business he really likes.

BUY

A top REIT. They charge the top US cell phone companies rents to put their equipment on their towers. An excellent long-term buy.

TOP PICK

Develops and owns wireless communication and broadcast towers globally. Need for a lot of data is as unavoidable as death and taxes. Data consumption in US is doubling every two years. Good defensive name. Yield is 1.78%. (Analysts’ price target is $222.53)

HOLD

AMT vs CCI? AMT has been a gift that keeps on giving. In the REIT space, it has great dividend growth. 5G is coming down the pipe and they are well positioned. Tactically, there may be some re-allocation going on that may cause some pull back. CCI is similar and both offer dividend growth.

COMMENT

Infrastructure. They own cell phone towers. They've had a good run over the last 3 years. They penetrate in areas around the world, and a play on cell phone usage. Not a bad stock, but long-term he prefers Brookfield Infrastructure for its geographic diversity.
