Wedbush upgraded SBA Communications (NASDAQ: SBAC) from Neutral to Outperform, price target raised from $51 to $54.

Wedbush analyst says, "We are upgrading SBA Communications ahead of what we expect will be an upwards revision to management’s outlook following the close of the Mobilitie transaction in Q2. We believe that SBAC’s current valuation discount vs. American Tower (NYSE: AMT) is unwarranted. We like the Mobilitie acquisition and believe that this was a fairly priced transaction at a 6.9% yield. It adds a set of good quality assets and is expected to be immediately accretive to equity free cash flow."
