Diamond Hill Capital Mid Cap Strategy made the following comment about SBA Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:SBAC) in its Q2 2023 investor letter:

"As markets have risen, we have been cautious about deploying cash. That said, we are still finding attractive values in the market and capitalized on attractive entry points to initiate three new positions in Q2: Ferguson, SBA Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:SBAC) and Lear Corp.

SBA Communications is a leading independent owner and operator of wireless communications infrastructure, including towers. We believe towers is a high-quality business that is central to the wireless economy and stands to benefit from the rollout of 5G technology. Though recent concerns around slowing 5G growth — and, in turn, tower leasing — have weighed on shares, we capitalized on the weakness to initiate a position in what we anticipate will be a growing business.”
