SBA Communications

At the Goldman Sachs conference, SBA Communications announced it will focus on markets where it can be a leader and either exit or double down in weaker regions. The company cited the April 2027 auction for the upper C‑band as a key growth driver that should trigger a new wave of lease agreements and network builds. The takeover of 7,000 Millicom towers in Central America is proceeding better than expected, while international churn—especially in Brazil—remains high in the near term. Capital allocation will prioritize acquisitions and build‑to‑suit projects, followed by share buybacks, debt reduction and dividend expansion. » More on de.investing.com

SBA Communications currently sees itself in a cyclical investment trough among US mobile operators, but expects growth to recover from 2028/2029 driven by 6G, satellite services and new mobile applications. The company reports annual free cash flow of around USD 700 million and EBITDA of about USD 1.95 billion, as well as improved refinancing and an investment-grade rating. Mobile operators’ capex is currently about 15% of revenue versus 25% during the 5G build-out; international churn (mainly Brazil) is expected to decline in 2027. Capital allocation priorities are share buybacks, dividend increases, debt management and selective acquisitions; the leverage target remains 6–7x net debt/EBITDA. » More on de.investing.com
