American Tower Sees 5G, AI and CoreSite Demand Fueling Growth

American Tower (AMT) anticipates growth driven by 5G, AI, and CoreSite demand. The company expects spectrum availability to boost tower equipment demand, with margins expanding by 200-300 basis points over the next few years. CoreSite, its data center business, is seeing strong demand, and AMT is reducing exposure to emerging markets. The company prioritizes dividends, internal investments, and share repurchases, having spent $600 million on buybacks recently.
