Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of American Tower Corporation

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We maintain our 12-month target of $210 on an EV/EBITDA multiple of 18.0x our 2026 estimate, a discount to its three-year average of 20.2x. We increase our 2026 adjusted FFO estimate by $0.17 to $11.08 and increase 2027 by $0.11 to $11.62. AMT's outperformance in Q1 was due to solid underlying growth, favorable foreign exchange rates, and straight-line revenue adjustments. The European business has continued to outperform its acquisition assumptions, with plans for over 700 new sites this year and management noting the strong operational performance is winning new build-to-suit contracts from carriers. We still see a long runway for domestic growth, with mobile data traffic expected to double in five years due to the proliferation of AI applications and future network densification required for 6G. CoreSite is seeing accelerating demand for interconnected infrastructure to support AI inferencing workloads, with management believing this is a durable, long-term trend.

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Rating On Amkor Technology Inc. To Strong Sell From Sell

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our price target from $32 to $51, 25x our 2026 EPS view, above AMKR's three-year average (~19x) on AI tailwinds. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.33 to $2.03 and 2027's by $0.05 to $2.30. Q1's results impressed, but we think shares' meteoric rise this year (+85%) more than reflects the potential upside associated with rising AI data center volumes (with related revenue likely to triple in 2026), while downside risk associated with the emerging memory shortage remains ignored despite vulnerabilities across AMKR's historically largest markets, Communications (44% of Q1 sales) and Auto/Industrial (21%). Given the company's nonexistent backlog, we think a downside surprise to 2H smartphone builds could swiftly reverse 1H's likely strength (including +42% for Communications in Q1), pressuring cash flow and necessitating more debt in order to fund AMKR's ambitious capex plans. Auto/Industrial's continued recovery (including +27% in Q1) also looks at risk of limited memory access, hurting volumes.
