American Tower opened 2026 on firmer footing than the headline numbers suggest. Reported attributable AFFO per share declined roughly 1% year-over-year, but strip out the one-time DISH churn drag, which management has now fully derisked from guidance, and FX-neutral normalized growth runs closer to 4%. The company raised full-year guidance across all key consolidated metrics, with the $145 million property revenue uplift at the midpoint driven primarily by $110 million of FX tailwinds and $35 million of accelerated noncash straight-line revenue tied to the Oi situation in Brazil. The guidance raise is largely technical rather than operational, but the underlying business is performing in line with expectations, and management's tone was notably confident about the trajectory into 2027 and beyond.
