Taiwan Semiconductor, American Tower, Trane Technologies And A Health Care Stock On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

American Tower Corporation&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amt#NYSE">AMT</a>) extensive and geographically diversified communication real estate portfolio positions it well to ride the growth curve amid rising capital spending by wireless carriers on the incremental demand from global 4G and 5G deployment efforts.
Its expansionary efforts and disciplined capital-allocation strategy augur well for long-term growth. However, customer concentration poses a key concern for the company.
<h2>What&#39;s Aiding AMT Stock?</h2>
With the advancement in mobile technology, such as 4G and 5G networks, and the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive applications, mobile data usage has increased significantly globally. The excessive use of network-intensive applications for video conferencing, cloud services and hybrid-working scenarios is likely to fuel the rise.
This has led to greater capital spending by wireless carriers due to the incremental demand from global 4G and 5G deployment efforts, growing wireless penetration and spectrum auctions, driving demand for AMT&#39;s wireless communication infrastructure. This upbeat trend is likely to continue in the upcoming period, boosting demand for the company&#39;s assets and driving healthy leasing activity.
American Tower has a solid track record of delivering healthy performance due to the robust demand for its global macro-tower-oriented asset base. It has witnessed strong growth in key financial metrics while continuing platform expansion.
In the second quarter of 2024, the company recorded healthy year-over-year organic tenant billings growth of 5.3% and total tenant billings growth of 6.1%. Also, in the second quarter, revenues from the property segment and adjusted EBITDA increased 4.6% and 8.1% on a year-over-year basis, respectively. Between 2013 and 2023, American Tower&#39;s revenues from the property segment and adjusted EBITDA witnessed a CAGR of 12.8% and 12.5%, respectively. Amid secular growth trends in the wireless industry, the healthy performance is expected to continue in 2024 and beyond.
To capitalize on the secular trends of the industry, AMT is consistently focusing on macro-tower investment opportunities and expansionary efforts across global markets. For 2023, the company shelled out approximately $168 million to acquire communications sites, previously subleased sites in the United States and other communications-related infrastructure globally.
<h2>AMT&#39;s Ample Liquidity</h2>
Apart from having a robust operating platform, American Tower has ample liquidity to support its debt servicing. Its consistent adjusted EBITDA margins and revenue growth, as well as favorable return on invested capital, indicate strength in its underlying core business and support its ability to manage its near-term obligations.
As of June 30, 2024, the company had $9.17 billion in total liquidity, and its net leverage ratio was 4.8. In addition, with a weighted average remaining term of debt of 5.8 years, it has decent financial flexibility.
<h2>AMT&#39;s Sustainable Dividend Payouts</h2>
American Tower has a disciplined capital allocation strategy and remains committed to increasing shareholder value through regular dividend hikes. In the last five years, American Tower increased its dividend 17 times, and the annualized dividend growth rate for this period is 12.74%. Moreover, it has a lower dividend payout compared with its industry. Such disbursements highlight its operational strength and commitment to rewarding shareholders handsomely.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have rallied 20.8% in the past six months, outperforming the industry&#39;s growth of 17.6%.

<h2>What&#39;s Affecting AMT Stock?</h2>
American Tower has a high customer concentration, with T-Mobile, AT&amp;T and Verizon Wireless contributing 17%, 16% and 12%, respectively, of its property revenues for 2023. The loss of TMUS, T or Verizon Wireless as customers, consolidation among them or reduction in network spending could adversely impact the company&#39;s top-line growth.
The merger between T-Mobile and Sprint, which closed in April 2020, resulted in tower site overlap for American Tower. During the first half of 2024, the churn was roughly 2% of its tenant billings, mainly driven by the churn in its U.S. &amp; Canada property segment.
Given the contractual lease cancellations and non-renewals by T-Mobile, including legacy Sprint Corporation leases, management expects the churn rate in its U.S. &amp; Canada property segment to remain elevated through 2025.
Although the Federal Reserve has announced a rate cut, the interest rate is still high and is a concern for American Tower. Elevated rates imply a higher borrowing cost for the company, which would affect its ability to purchase or develop real estate. American Tower has a substantial debt burden, and its total debt, as of June 30, 2024, was approximately $38.97 billion.
<h2>Stocks to Consider</h2>
Some better-ranked stocks from the broader REIT sector are Lamar Advertising (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lamr#NASDAQ">LAMR</a>) and Four Corners Property Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fcpt#NYSE">FCPT</a>), each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Lamar&#39;s 2024 FFO per share is pinned at $8.09, suggesting year-over-year growth of 8.3%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Four Corners&#39; 2024 FFO per share stands at $1.73, indicating an increase of 3.6% from the year-ago reported figure.

Each week,&nbsp;Benzinga&#8217;s Stock Whisper Index&nbsp;uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-whisper-index" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">surface and deserve attention</a>.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.
Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week of Sept. 13:
AST SpaceMobile Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>): The satellite and space-related company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40420145/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">rejoins the Stock Whisper Index</a> with a huge boost in interest from Benzinga readers during the week. The increase is likely attributable to the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40837326/whats-going-on-with-ast-spacemobile-stock"> launching its first </a>five commercial satellites during the week. The Bluebird satellites will help the company's plan of providing coverage from space in the United States and select global markets.
The launch was part of a collaboration with AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), which is one of several key partners with AST SpaceMobile.
"This is an exciting next step to a future where our customers will only be hard to reach if they choose to be – giving them the power to go anywhere and the possibility to do anything while staying connected with just an everyday cell phone," AT&amp;T COO Jeff McElfresh said.
In 2024, AST SpaceMobile has secured additional investments from AT&amp;T, Verizon, Google and Vodafone and signed new contract awards with the U.S. Government. The company has over 45 mobile network operator deals signed globally.
Shares of AST SpaceMobile were down 6.6% over the last week, with news of a share offering of up to $400 million in stock sending shares lower. While the <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent091324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro chart</a> below highlights the weekly move, shares are up over 450% year-to-date in 2024.

Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>): The social networking company saw an increase in interest from Benzinga readers, which may be related to both good and bad news. New Mexico's attorney general <a href="https://apnews.com/article/new-mexico-snapchat-attorney-general-sextortion-teens-1a1c4c856a24d15631f26bb69e0f4c74">filed </a>a suit against the company alleging child sexual extortion, saying Snap's site design and policies allow bad practices to happen. The lawsuit also alleges the company promotes child trafficking, drugs and guns through its Snapchat platform.
"Snap has misled users into believing that photos and videos sent on their platform will disappear, but predators can permanently capture this content and they have created a virtual yearbook of child sexual images that are traded, sold, and stored indefinitely," New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said.
The potential negative headline and future headwind for the company comes after Snap's CEO Evan Spiegel announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40699921/snap-ceo-evan-spiegel-announces-focus-on-ad-business-and-ar-amid-still-competition-from-tiktok-a">a new focus</a> on the company's advertising business and augmented reality to beat competitors. Spiegel acknowledged that the company's advertising business is growing more slowly than its competitors, making it a key focus for improving the company's financials and boosting its share price.
Snap shares were up over 5% over the last week, as seen on the chart below, but shares remain down over 40% year-to-date.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent091324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/13102051/Screenshot-176.png" alt="" class="wp-image-547122" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/13102051/Screenshot-176.png 997w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/13102051/Screenshot-176-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/13102051/Screenshot-176-768x387.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></a></figure>
MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>): The software company and major Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holder is no stranger to the Stock Whisper Index, with investor interest often rising in the name throughout the year. One reason for the company's potential boosted interest is that company chairman Michael Saylor highlighted MicroStrategy's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40776328/microstrategys-bitcoin-strategy-has-outperformed-every-s-p-500-company-and-even-nvidia-sin">outperformance against every company </a>in the S&amp;P 500 since 2020, including NVIDIA.
"We beat every single company in the S&amp;P Index using Bitcoin strategy," Saylor said on CNBC.
The comment from Saylor follows his commentary in July, when he shared a chart that showed MicroStrategy's outperformance against key stocks since the company began investing in Bitcoin back in August 2020.  
"To outperform $NVDA – get on the #Bitcoin Standard," Saylor said at the time.
The company <a href="https://www.microstrategy.com/press/microstrategy-acquires-18300-btc-achieves-btc-yield-of-4-qtd-17-ytd-now-holds-244800-btc">announced </a>Friday morning that it had acquired an additional 18,300 BTC for around $1.11 billion, bringing its total holdings to 244,800 Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy shares are up over 6% over the last week and up over 90% year-to-date in 2024.

American Tower Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMT#NYSE">AMT</a>): The telecommunications real estate investment trust makes an appearance on the Stock Whisper Index with a large surge in interest. The company, which owns over 200,000 cell towers and data centers globally, made headlines during the week with the sale of its India business to Data Infrastructure Trust, an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management. The deal brings in around $2.5 billion to American Tower, which will be used to pay down debt.
The company is expected to report third-quarter financial results in October. American Tower has beat analyst revenue estimates in 13 straight quarters. Several analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMT/analyst-ratings">raised their price targets</a> on the stock ahead of the third-quarter earnings report.
American Tower CEO Steven Vondran highlighted the company's organic tenant billings growth and strong new business for data centers, leading to a guidance increase after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/40048253/american-tower-q2-earnings-revenue-and-tenant-billings-growth-ceo-focuses-on-india-us-canada-segmen">second-quarter results.</a>

Visionary Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GV#NASDAQ">GV</a>): The smallest company on the list for the week is also the biggest gainer. Visionary Holdings shares saw strong interest after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40836061/saudi-pif-backs-visionary-holdings-with-120m-investment-big-boost-for-ai-education-real-estate">the company announced</a> the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) backed the company with up to a $120 million investment.

<h3>Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
