American Tower's second quarter reinforced the company's repositioning narrative, a cleaner, more developed-market-focused portfolio generating durable cash flows, with CoreSite emerging as a genuine second growth engine. The headline numbers were solid: consolidated property revenue grew over 5% year-over-year on a cash FX-neutral basis (over 7% excluding one-time DISH churn), and the company raised its full-year outlook for the second time in 2026, lifting the data center revenue growth target from approximately 13% to approximately 15%. Attributable AFFO per share growth, while still burdened by DISH-related churn and refinancing headwinds, is being framed by management as a trough year, with a meaningful inflection expected in 2027 as those headwinds dissipate.
