Telecommunication Tower: Neutral with TOWR as Top Pick

Strength

Aggressive acquisitions of new-tower and fiber-optic infrastructure to drive revenue; growth support from forays into the likes of Fiber-To-The-Home, which benefits from rising fixed broadband use, and Power-as-a-Service (PaaS) bundling to attract MNOs

 

Weakness

USD-based and capital-intensive businesses like tower companies are disadvantaged in a continued high interest rate and weak IDR environment, as the Fed’s ability to ease is limited by Trump’s trade war, resulting in stronger dollar which is negative for the IDR

 

Opportunity

Competition among MNOs may drive tower demand in penetrating uncovered areas and fiber-optic infrastructure enhancing network quality; potential BI rate cuts could reduce tower companies’ high interest charges, allowing for reversal in underperformances

 

Threat

Slower MNO network expansions may hinder tower companies’ growth; EXCL-FREN merger may lead to relocations in terms of tower lease contracts, applying pressure on other players’ performances, leading to continued share price underperformances
