American Tower

American Tower commands an $80 billion market cap through owning over 220,000 cell towers globally, making it the largest infrastructure REIT by asset count. Its long-term leases with carriers like Verizon and T-Mobile ensure 95% of cash flows are contracted beyond five years, producing a 2.8% dividend yield that beats the average telecom REIT by 0.7 points. As 5G buildout expands across the US, Europe, India, and Latin America, American Tower’s tenant diversification across 20+ carriers reduces churn risk by 30% compared to #3 Equinix’s data center model.
