A Look at American Tower’s Well-Built Balance Sheet

During 3Q17, American Tower (AMT) strengthened its revenues on higher organic growth in domestic and international markets such as India and Mexico.

AMT’s debt-to-equity ratio stands at 2.96x, which is much higher than the industry average of 1.03x.
