What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of AMT's valuation, growth and risks.
Against the 44.7 median P/E of Real Estate stocks, American Tower Corp (AMT)'s P/E of 25.29 is 43.4% below that median, which counts as a discount to peers. The price-to-sales ratio of 7.83 sits 24.7% below the sector median of 10.4. For scale, AMT carries a market capitalisation of $85.7B.
AMT is growing more slowly than the sector. Revenue rose 4.70% in the latest quarter compared with the same quarter a year earlier, while the sector median stands at 11.0%. Sales convert well into earnings: the net margin is 32.1% and the operating margin is 45.41%. Return on equity of 33.91% sits above the sector median of 5.8%. On the balance sheet, debt-to-equity is 4.39, and the trailing dividend yield is 3.85%, equal to $7.07 a share per year.
AMT's latest report, released on July 28, 2026, topped the estimate by 20.65%. The company posted EPS of $1.87 against the $1.55 analysts had expected. In the first session after the report, the share price climbed 4.52%.
The earnings record shows 5 beats in 8 reports, but beats have not guaranteed gains: the stock fell the next day after 4 of them. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $6.93 this fiscal year (growth of 28.3%) and $6.98 the year after (growth of 0.7%).
On a typical day the price of AMT shifts by 2.34%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 0.89. Insiders sold $23.4M over the last 18 months and bought $2.0M, though sales of this kind are often planned in advance and say less than purchases would.

Over the past year, the price is 14.85% above the 52-week low of $160.06 and 9.22% below the 52-week high of $202.50.

- The two closest levels to watch are the 52-week high at $202.50, above the price, and the 20-day EMA at $179.34, below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 57.6 is in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
- AMT beat estimates in 5 of the last 8 reports, and after the July 28, 2026 report the share price climbed 4.52% in the first session.
AMT's uptrend depends on the price holding above its 50-day average at $175.17 and its 200-day average at $177.24. A close below the 200-day average would be the first sign that the trend is breaking. If the price pulls back, the nearest level it would reach is the 20-day EMA at $179.34.
The next level overhead for American Tower Corp (AMT) is the 52-week high at $202.50. The 14-day RSI of 57.6 places the stock in neutral territory, between 40 and 60.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in AMT, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in AMT today could grow to about $12,420 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $24,636 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $6,262. The simulation models price only; at today's 3.85% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
AMT Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $228 for AMT by 2030 in the base case, from $184 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $115. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on AMT's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
