Three major REITs owning US wireless towers show varying dividend yields and safety amid growing network demand.

Three leading REITs—American Tower, Crown Castle, and SBA Communications—own the cell towers behind America's wireless networks, each offering different dividend yields and risk profiles. American Tower leads with a 3.79% yield and solid dividend coverage, supported by global operations and data centers. Crown Castle offers the highest yield at 4.94% but with a thinner coverage margin, reflecting higher risk due to tenant concentration and recent dividend cuts. SBA Communications has the safest payout with only 41% of AFFO used for dividends, though its yield is the lowest at 2.71%. Growing demand for network capacity and new spectrum is expected to drive future growth, but risks include tenant churn and market-specific challenges.

As of Oct 26, 2026 18:32 WIB, American Tower trades at USD 189.71 with a dividend yield of 3.79% on Pluang. Crown Castle is priced at USD 85.74, offering a higher yield of 4.94%, though its stock fell by 0.27% that day. These figures highlight the current market valuations and income potential of these leading REITs in the wireless infrastructure sector.
