    Most Popular Narrative: 13.7% Undervalued

    SBA Communications last closed at $195.48, which sits below the most followed fair value estimate of $226.40 and puts the recent rally in a different light for anyone weighing tower cash flows against refinancing and churn.

    Recycling capital from divested subscale portfolios into an investment grade balance sheet, share repurchases of roughly US$0.5b at prices management views as accretive, and a larger unsecured debt platform with a US$2.5b revolver positions SBA Communications to convert future lease up and international growth into higher FFO and AFFO per share after the 2026 and 2027 refinancing period.

    See why 12 investors see SBA Communications as 14% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $226.40 (UNDERVALUED)
