American Tower (ISIN US03027X1000) was quoted at EUR 144.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 11:47 a.m. CEST, down EUR 0.70 or 0.48 percent versus the EUR 145.50 prior close. The latest company-specific signal is Barclays' target increase, while American Tower's second-quarter operating figures give the valuation discussion a measurable earnings base.
Barclays raises its target
According to Markets Insider on September 30, 2026, Barclays analyst Brendan Lynch maintained a Buy rating and raised the target from USD 198.00 to USD 199.00. The move is modest in absolute terms, but it leaves the published target above the primary-exchange quote of USD 163.69 recorded on September 30, 2026.
That primary-exchange quote was last at USD 163.69 on the NYSE on September 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT. The same market view showed a 52-week range of USD 160.06 to USD 196.08 and a market capitalization of USD 76.3 billion, placing the share price 2.27 percent above its yearly low.
Revenue expands in second quarter
American Tower reported USD 2.75 billion of revenue and USD 867.5 million of net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, according to Markets Insider. Revenue was higher than the USD 2.63 billion reported for the same quarter a year earlier, while net income exceeded the prior-year figure of USD 366.8 million.
MarketBeat also reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.71 for the quarter, compared with a consensus estimate of USD 1.57, and fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance of USD 11.00 to USD 11.17. The comparison matters because the guidance is annual while the earnings figure covers one quarter.
Dividend and results dates
American Tower declared a quarterly cash distribution of USD 1.79 per share on September 18, 2026, payable on October 20, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2026, according to StockTitan. The filing also records Kristen M. Ludgate's election to the board effective September 17, 2026.
Yahoo Finance reported on September 29, 2026 that American Tower scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results for October 27, 2026, with the conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET. That date is the next major company-specific checkpoint after the dividend payment.
Stock sits above yearly low
American Tower's NYSE quote of USD 163.69 on September 30, 2026 stood 2.27 percent above the USD 160.06 52-week low, while the Lang & Schwarz indication was EUR 144.80 on October 1, 2026 at 11:47 a.m. CEST, minus 0.48 percent versus the EUR 145.50 prior close.
