Stock price when the opinion was issued
Towers have some of the best operating momentum of any sector globally. Globally we are trending towards a 4G world, iPhones, iPads, communications, etc. Largest 500 companies globally are doing more with less people by leveraging technology through bandwidth. Tower business is wonderfully attractive and highly scalable, both in developed and emerging markets. Took a little bit of a pause last month but with recovering economy companies will continue to reinvest in technology and things like communication. EPS is $1.33.
(A Top Pick Jan 22/13. Up 7.70%.) This is all about the tower business. A highly scalable, attractive economic model. Free cash flow generation. Strong management team. Have a global footprint. Buying the towers and leasing them back. Very little debt. Well-positioned for the next leg of the bull market in the next 18-24 months.
American Tower (AMT-N), Crown Castle International (CCI-N) or SBA Communications (SBAC-Q)? US REITs with cell towers in the US. You want to own these because they have multiple tenants. The average tower has 3 or 4 tenants. They can put more and more gear on them, so there is lots of room to grow revenues. The US is going through a boom on bandwidth, certainly wireless spectrum. Of the 3, he prefers American Tower, the most international of the group.
(Market Call Minute) A pullback that makes sense.
