American Tower Corp (NYSE: AMT) is one of the world’s largest REITs, specializing in the ownership, operation, and development of multitenant communications infrastructure, with more than 149,000 tower sites and a growing network of U.S. data-center facilities.
Key recent metrics show the company’s resilience: FY 2025 funds-from-operations (FFO) rose 5% year-over-year to $2.1 billion, the global occupancy rate held at 95%, and the dividend yield remains near 2.5% while net debt/EBITDA sits at roughly 4.5×, indicating solid balance-sheet discipline.
Sector-wide drivers such as accelerated 5G roll-outs, increasing mobile-edge computing demand, and the macro trend toward higher data-traffic volumes continue to underpin growth opportunities for tower owners.
