American Tower Corp (AMT) is not an ideal buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy at this time. While the stock has shown a recent price increase and some analysts maintain a Buy rating, the financial performance indicates significant challenges with a sharp decline in net income and EPS. Additionally, the lack of strong trading signals, mixed analyst ratings, and no clear positive catalysts make it prudent to hold off on investing in this stock for now.
The stock's MACD is positive and expanding, indicating bullish momentum. RSI is at 77.554, suggesting the stock is approaching overbought territory. Moving averages are converging, showing no clear trend. Key resistance levels are at 186.824 and 191.936, while support levels are at 178.55 and 170.276.
Some analysts, such as UBS and BofA, maintain a Buy rating with favorable long-term growth expectations for the tower sector. Recent price increase of 4.27% in regular trading indicates short-term bullish sentiment.
Significant decline in net income (-207.70% YoY) and EPS (-207.06% YoY) in the latest quarter. Mixed analyst ratings with some downgrades and reduced price targets. Concerns about the company's exposure to Dish Network and uncertainties surrounding its resolution. No recent congress trading data or strong insider/hedge fund activity.
In Q3 2025, revenue increased by 7.74% YoY to $2.717 billion. However, net income dropped by 207.70% YoY to $853.3 million, and EPS fell by 207.06% YoY to 1.82. Gross margin slightly improved to 54.6%, up 0.39% YoY.
Analyst sentiment is mixed. UBS and BofA maintain Buy ratings with reduced price targets, citing favorable long-term growth in the tower sector. However, BMO Capital downgraded the stock to Market Perform, citing lingering uncertainties with Dish Network. Price targets range from $185 to $255, with a median target of approximately $203.
