American Tower Corp. Ends Strategic Collocation Deal with DISH

What Happened

• American Tower Corporation filed an 8-K (June 4, 2026) announcing it delivered a notice terminating its Strategic Collocation Agreement (SCA) with DISH Wireless L.L.C. (a DISH Network subsidiary). The SCA was originally entered into in March 2021; the termination is effective June 2, 2026. The company also terminated related agreements with DISH.

Key Details

• Termination notice delivered by American Tower; effective date: June 2, 2026.
• The SCA was entered into in March 2021.
• Beginning January 1, 2026, 100% of DISH-related revenue has been reflected in churn.
• American Tower says this termination is not expected to impact its financial results for the year ending December 31, 2026.
• The company continues to pursue litigation against DISH regarding DISH’s obligations under the SCA.

Why It Matters

• For investors, the immediate financial impact appears limited because DISH revenue was already accounted for as churn starting January 1, 2026, and the company states the termination should not affect 2026 results.
• The ongoing litigation with DISH remains a potential source of future recoveries or costs; investors should watch future filings for developments or potential financial implications.
