Track SBAC free→SBA Communications raised 2026 revenue guidance to about $2.88 billion. Capex is cut to $430-$450 million, focusing on new towers. The company has steady deals with Verizon, supporting growth. Profit margins and cash flow remain stable.
The recent 19% stock drop shows investor worries. Revenue growth may slow below 2%. Capital spending cuts could hurt future expansion. Key customer deals might weaken, reducing steady income.
The price is about 4% below our fair value near $188. Analysts expect 2% revenue growth, which the market roughly prices in. Our value is 18% below the Street median, so the market may be cautious.
