"We had a positive start to 2025, producing favorable financial and operating results," said CEO Brendan Cavanagh. "Carrier activity levels in the U.S., represented by both new leasing business signed up and services volumes, continued to grow in the quarter. We also saw our U.S. leasing and services application backlogs increase from year-end, providing us confidence in continued solid activity levels throughout the year. Internationally we also saw solid leasing activity in line with our expectations, and we were able to secure an earlier than expected closing of 321 sites from our previously announced Millicom acquisition."

For full-year 2025, the company expects AFFO per share to be in the range of $12.53 to $12.90.

Given the expected upside potential, growth-focused investors may find SBA Communications stock attractive. Furthermore, they can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 1.91%.
