Analysts Are Bullish on These 10 Stocks for 2025, Here’s Why

2. American Tower (NYSE:AMT) 

American Tower is one of the leading global real estate investment trusts (REITs). The company is the independent owner, developer, and operator of multitenant communications. Its portfolio consists of over 148,000 communications sites.

AMT was upgraded by Wells Fargo from Equal Weight to Overweight. This upgrade was due to the anticipation that the sector could see an inflection point in 2026. The billings growth is expected to bottom out this year and AMT is well-placed to benefit from a turnaround.

“In a choppy economic tape, we are more favorable on AMT, which has a clean path to ~8%+ AFFO/share growth from 2025-2027, improving organic revenue trends as Sprint churn fades in late 2025, a deleveraged balance sheet giving them flexibility for dividend raises/repurchases, and strategic optionality around the data center segment.”

The company also recently raised its dividend by 4.9% to $1.7, bringing the forward dividend yield to a healthy 3.14%. Investors taking entry at current levels are best placed to benefit from the 2026 growth while locking in an attractive dividend yield.
