SBA Communications Corporation (SBAC) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $190.33 the price implies FFO a share growing 1.0% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew 9.6% a year over the last ten years, 15.0% over the last five. The price asks for less than its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 4.1%.

In December 2017 the price assumed 9.4% a year; SBA Communications Corporation went on to grow FFO a share 10.1% a year to FY2025.

FFO a share is worked out from SBA Communications Corporation’s 10-Ks and 10-Qs: net income, plus the depreciation of its property and impairments, less gains on property sales.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

Its assumptions

Powerpack lets you start from a scenario and type over any of them.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · FFO a share
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in FFO a share. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies FFO a share growing 1.0% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Advanced inputs

Against SBA Communications Corporation’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 0.97 × equity premium 4.5% = 8.7% cost of equity; weighted, 8.7%.

SBAC trades at 11.52× EV/Sales, against a 10-year average of 16.11× (range 11.52×–23.56×). That is cheaper than 100% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $312.79 per share.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
