In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, RiverPark highlighted a few stocks and American Tower Corp (NYSE:AMT) is one of them. American Tower Corp (NYSE:AMT) is a real estate investment trust company. Year-to-date, American Tower Corp (NYSE:AMT) stock lost 4.5% and on December 9th it had a closing price of $219.44. Here is what RiverPark said:
“American Tower: AMT shares were a top detractor on mixed second quarter results and management’s lowered full year revenue and EBITDA guidance (the company did, however, increase its AFFO/share guidance). The company guided to slower-than-expected U.S. property revenue growth due to a push-out of T-Mobile/Sprint capital spending. We believe U.S. activity should reaccelerate in the second half of this year, driven by T-Mobile/Sprint restarting capital spending, and into 2021, with Dish starting to ramp.
Although individual quarterly activity may remain lumpy, rapidly rising global mobile data usage in the range of 30%-40% per year continues to drive robust capital investment within the wireless industry. 5G deployment and major carriers’ needs for high-quality networks are likely to drive double-digit capital spending growth in 2021 (and similar amounts for the foreseeable future), irrespective of carrier consolidation. One key forecast is that by 2023, the average U.S. consumer mobile device is expected to consume nearly 50 gigabytes of data per month, nearly four times current levels. This tailwind, combined with world class execution, should drive consistent long-term revenue, cash flow and dividend per share growth at AMT for the foreseeable future. AMT’s tower portfolio continues to grow and its capital intensity continues to decline (the company has reduced the ratio of its capital expenditures to revenue by 1/3 over the past 10 years), leading to a significant increase in free cash flow (trailing-twelve-months free cash flow was $7.5 billion, compared with 2009’s $800 million).”
