Why American Tower Fell 14% in January
Stock in American Tower (NYSE: AMT) fell 14% in January, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. One of the largest of all real estate investment trusts (REITs), with a market cap of roughly $112 billion, can now be had for about $245 a share.
American Tower's pullback last month was significantly larger than the S&P 500's drop of about 5%. The stock had gained 19% in 2021, so some profit-taking was in store. Other reasons this telecommunications tower giant sold off include a JPMorgan Chase analyst's downgrade from "neutral" to "underweight" early in the month.
