Frequently asked questions
What is American Tower Corp's revenue?
American Tower Corp's trailing twelve-month revenue is $10.82B, and consensus projects about $12.48B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is AMT?
In its most recent fiscal year, AMT ran a gross margin of 73.68%, an operating margin of 45.85%, and a net margin of 23.76%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does AMT generate?
AMT produced $3.78B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is AMT's balance sheet healthy?
AMT holds $1.47B in cash and equivalents against $33.83B in long-term debt, on $3.65B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
