Valuing American Tower stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of American Tower's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
American Tower's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 48x. In other words, American Tower shares trade at around 48x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
American Tower's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3963. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into American Tower's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
American Tower's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$7 billion (£5.4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a American Tower's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, American Tower's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$149.2176 up to US$215.3617. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while American Tower's is 0.808. This would suggest that American Tower's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Dividend payout ratio: 148.42% of net profits
Recently American Tower has paid out, on average, around 148.42% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), American Tower shareholders could enjoy a 3.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In American Tower's case, that would currently equate to about $6.51 per share.
American Tower's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
American Tower's most recent dividend payout was on 11 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
