Analysis · ATNI · Technology
A standout quarter was fueled by the $229.9 million gain on the US tower portfolio sale, which propelled net income to $167.3 million, or $10.71 per diluted share. Underlying momentum was also evident, with Adjusted EBITDA climbing 9% to $49.7 million and the full-year 2026 outlook reaffirmed. In a further show of confidence, the board raised the share repurchase authorization by $15 million to $30 million. While the tower gain is non-recurring, the combination of operational progress and a strengthened capital return policy is particularly meaningful for a company with a $369 million market cap.
