Read MoreHide Full Article
Analysts on Wall Street project that SBA Communications (SBAC - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $3.12 per share in its forthcoming report, representing a decline of 5.2% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $657 million, declining 0.1% from the same quarter last year.
