New Street: EU Towers 3Q21: M&A coming back on the scene?
Following Q3 earnings season, we revisit key themes for the tower names, which have generally performed well this year, with the impact of rising inflation offsetting the potential drag from rising bond yields. M&A activity has been quieter than usual, but expectations of future M&A have been increasing and now swirl around all names. We revisit the Inwit synergy case to show what this might mean for Vantage Towers, and we revisit our broader thesis on the EU tower names.Cellnex Telecom SA is a Spain-based company engaged in the wireless telecommunications (telecom) business.
