<h3>A Look at SBA Comms P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
SBA Comms has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 52.76 of the Specialized REITs industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730906184_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

SBA Communications&#39; (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sbac#NASDAQ">SBAC</a>) extensive and geographically diverse wireless communication infrastructure portfolio is well-positioned to gain from the wireless carriers&#39; high capital spending for network expansion amid growth in mobile data usage and accelerated 5G network deployment efforts.
The long-term leases with its tenants assure stable revenues. Also, portfolio expansion moves, domestically and internationally, to capitalize on the secular trends of the industry are encouraging.
However, customer concentration and consolidation in the wireless industry are key near-term concerns. The churn arising from the Sprint-related decommissioning is likely to hurt top-line growth.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have risen 25.9% over the past three months, outperforming the industry&#39;s upside of 16.5%.

<h2>What&#39;s Aiding SBAC?</h2>
The advancement in mobile technology, such as 4G and 5G networks, and the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive applications have propelled growth in mobile data usage globally. This has resulted in wireless service providers and carriers expanding their networks and deploying additional equipment for existing networks to boost network coverage and capacity to meet the rising consumer demand, poising tower real estate investment trusts like SBAC well for growth.
SBA Communications has a resilient and stable site-leasing business model. The company generates most of its revenues from long-term (typically five to 10 years) tower leases that have built-in rent escalators. With high operating margins, its tower-leasing business remains attractive.
As the company continues to expand its tower portfolio and seek new growth opportunities, it focuses on business expansion into domestic and select international markets with high growth characteristics. During the first half of 2024, SBAC acquired 128 towers and related assets. In the second quarter of 2024, it also built 100 towers. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the company purchased or is under contract to purchase 106 communication sites for a total cash consideration of $49.3 million. Such portfolio expansion efforts will position SBA Communications to leverage secular trends in mobile data usage and wireless spending growth across the globe.
Solid dividend payouts are arguably the biggest enticement for investment in REIT stocks. SBAC has increased its dividend five times in the last five years, and its five-year annualized dividend growth rate is 22.42%. Given SBA Communications&#39; decent financial position and lower-than-industry dividend payout rate, the dividend distribution is expected to be sustainable over the long run.
<h2>What&#39;s Hurting SBAC?</h2>
The company has a high customer concentration, with T-Mobile (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmus#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>), AT&amp;T (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/t#NYSE">T</a>) and Verizon (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vz#NYSE">VZ</a>) accounting for the majority of its domestic site-leasing revenues. In the second quarter of 2024, T-Mobile, AT&amp;T and Verizon accounted for 38.2%, 29.7% and 20.2%, respectively, of SBAC&#39;s domestic site-leasing revenues.
The loss of any of these customers, consolidation among them or a reduction in network spending might hurt the company&#39;s top line significantly. The churn arising from the Sprint-related decommissioning is likely to weigh on its performance in the near term.
SBA Communications has a substantially leveraged balance sheet, with $12.4 billion of total debt and net debt to the annualized adjusted EBITDA leverage of 6.4X as of the end of the second quarter of 2024. The high amount of debt is likely to keep SBA Communications&#39; financial obligations elevated. Moreover, its debt-to-capital ratio is higher than the industry average. A high debt-to-capital ratio limits its strength to withstand any credit crisis and unexpected negative externalities in the future.
Note: Anything related to earnings presented in this write-up represents funds from operations (FFO), a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs.

3 REITs With Rapid Dividend Growth

With economic conditions stabilizing and demand rising for infrastructure, REITs present a compelling opportunity. Given this backdrop, you might consider keeping track of top-rated REITs like American Tower Corp (AMT), SBA Communications Corp (SBAC), and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE) that have attractive dividend yield and growth opportunities. Read more… Real Estate Investment Trusts, or <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reit.asp">REITs</a>, are gaining traction among income-focused investors due to their ability to offer consistent dividends along with long-term growth prospects.
Thus, investors looking for high dividend yields may consider looking into American Tower Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMT/">AMT</a>), SBA Communications Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SBAC/">SBAC</a>), and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ARE/">ARE</a>), which are also poised to grow.  
In the current environment, cooling inflation and stabilizing interest rates provide a favorable atmosphere for REITs. Samuel Sahn, managing partner and portfolio manager at Hazelview Investments, <a href="https://www.wealthprofessional.ca/news/industry-news/reits-poised-for-recovery-as-market-conditions-shift-in-their-favour/386788">believes that</a> "macroeconomic conditions are taking a shift in the favor of interest rate-sensitive industries like REITs." These conditions help REITs reduce borrowing costs, making it easier to expand their portfolios and enhance profitability.
Investors are particularly drawn to top-rated REITs that specialize in sectors like industrial properties, residential spaces, and data centers, each thriving in response to emerging market trends. Moreover, <a href="https://www.reit.com/investing/why-invest-reits">REITs provide diversification opportunities</a>, which makes them less correlated. REITs can help maximize returns while balancing sector-specific risks.
The global REIT market is anticipated to grow by $350.20 billion by 2028, <a href="https://www.technavio.com/report/reit-market-analysis">exhibiting a CAGR of 2.9%</a>, showing a real positive REIT growth in the economy. REITs offer a compelling mix of income generation and capital appreciation.

3 Top-Rated REITS for High Dividends and Growth Potential

As 5G revolutionizes industries, investors can look to invest in communication-focused REITs such as American Tower Corp. (AMT), Crown Castle (CCI), and SBA Communications (SBAC) that seem to thrive and generate significant long-term returns. Read on… As 5G technology reshapes industries, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reit.asp">Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)</a> with stakes in communication infrastructure are positioned to benefit from this high-tech wave. Below, I have highlighted three fundamentally strong REITs: American Tower Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMT/">AMT</a>), Crown Castle Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CCI/">CCI</a>), and SBA Communications Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SBAC/">SBAC</a>), which are poised for growth as the 5G rollout gains momentum.
You've probably heard of 5G by now. It's the latest or, let's say, ‘fifth' generation of cellular wireless technology that promises speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, enabling nearly instant internet connections. Beyond our smartphones, 5G unlocks the potential for innovations like self-driving cars, advanced robotics, AI-driven applications, and even entire smart cities.
However, to support this next-generation technology, an extensive infrastructure overhaul is necessary, meaning new and upgraded cell towers and support structures are in high demand. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global 5G infrastructure market is projected to reach <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/5g-infrastructure-market-100869">$590.18 billion by 2032</a>, exhibiting a CAGR of 42.7% from 2024 to 2032.
This increased need for towers translates to growing opportunities for REITs specializing in communication infrastructure. Moreover, REITs offer a unique advantage for investors, as they're required to distribute at least 90% of their income as dividends, making them a reliable source of returns even in uncertain economic times.
Furthermore, Technavio projects that the global REIT market will increase by $350.20 billion between 2023 and 2028. The market's growth momentum is estimated to accelerate at a <a href="https://www.technavio.com/report/reit-market-analysis">CAGR of 2.9%</a> in the same period.
