Frequently asked questions
What is SBA Communications Corp's revenue?
SBA Communications Corp's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.85B. 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 SBAC?
In its most recent fiscal year, SBAC ran a gross margin of 41.61%, an operating margin of 48.67%, and a net margin of 37.43%. 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 SBAC generate?
SBAC produced $1.07B 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 SBAC's balance sheet healthy?
SBAC holds $432.37M in cash and equivalents against $10.96B in long-term debt, on $-4.85B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
