Canopy Investors Kris Webster, Michael Poulsen, and Jack McManus | “SBAC's share price increased 29% in April. SBAC leases mobile phone towers to wireless telcos primarily in the US and Brazil. Its revenue is backed by long-term, inflation-linked contracts, with growt” | BULL | Q1 2026 Mar 31, 2026 | View Pitch |
Diamond Hill Small-Mid Cap Strategy Anthony Philipp, Chris Welch | “SBA Communications is a wireless tower REIT that owns infrastructure essential to mobile networks. Shares have been pressured by higher interest rates and slower wireless spending, despite a long runway for 5G-related upgrades and highly profitable incremental leasing. We believe the current valuation disconnect provides a compelling opportunity to own a business providing durable, necessary infrastructure with attractive long-term economics. BSD Analysis: SBA Communications is a premier independent owner and operator of wireless communications infrastructure, boasting a massive global footprint of over 44,000 towers. The 2026 investment outlook is positive, driven by the continued rollout of 5G technology and the increasing data consumption needs of mobile users across North and South America. SBA's business model is characterized by long-term leases with built-in rent escalators and very low maintenance capital requirements, resulting in exceptionally high margins and predictable cash flows. The company is also seeing growth from "co-location" on existing towers, which allows it to increase property-level yields with minimal incremental investment. Management remains highly disciplined with capital allocation, prioritizing share buybacks and strategic acquisitions to drive growth in adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) per share. Despite the impact of high interest rates on the broader REIT sector, SBA's low exposure to tenant churn and its essential role in the telecommunications ecosystem make it a resilient and high-quality core holding.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Andvari Associates Douglas Ott | “SBA Communications possesses high-margin operations with robust pricing power secured by structural real estate barriers and persistent global mobile data expansion. While its share price has suffered from debt-reduction actions and lowered buybacks, its underlying earnings capacity remains solid. A resumption of historical share repurchases combined with valuation levels not seen in 15 years offers a highly favorable entry setup.” | BULL | Q4 2024 Jan 20, 2025 | View Pitch |
