American Tower Stock Is Upgraded To A Buy Rating


American Tower has been all over the news lately with their proposal to buy towers in Brazil and Mexico, but today Zolmax News reported that, “American Tower Corp (NYSE:AMT) was upgraded by analysts at ISI Group from a ‘neutral’ rating to a ‘buy’ rating in a research report issued to clients and investors on Tuesday.”

American Tower currently has a $79.00 price target on the stock and ISI Group’s price objective suggests a potential upside of 13.41 from the company’s current price.

The analysts wrote, “We are upgrading American Tower (AMT) to Buy from Neutral as the stock has seen meaningful share price underperformance over the past three months (down 16% over that period which equates to 20% relative underperformance vs. the S&P and a 750bp underperformance vs. REITs) despite a Q2 earnings report and outlook for tower demand which was better than expected.
