American Tower Corp lifts full‑year outlook after Q2 revenue jump
American Tower Corporation reported second‑quarter 2026 total revenue of $2.75 billion, a 4.7 % increase year‑over‑year. Property revenue rose 6.3 % to $2.69 billion and net income surged 133 % to $888 million, helped by around $110 million of foreign‑exchange gains. The company raised its full‑year financial guidance for the second time in 2026, citing strong global tower leasing demand and record activity at its CoreSite data‑center subsidiary. Europe outperformed underwriting expectations for the Telefónica portfolio, delivering mid‑single‑digit growth, while a one‑time churn event from DISH temporarily lowered reported metrics. Management highlighted continued momentum in mobile‑data demand and 5G network densification as drivers of the upgraded outlook.
