CCI Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Crown Castle's positive outlook is supported by its expectation of 4.5% organic growth in 2025, driven by increases in lease and amendment applications as mobile carriers expand their 5G capabilities. The company reported fiber site rental revenue of $527 million in Q4, which exceeded both internal estimates and consensus, with strong contributions from small cells showing a 14% organic growth year-over-year. Furthermore, the consistent organic growth of 4.5% across its tower operations aligns with management’s guidance, indicating a solid foundation as the company prepares to focus solely on tower operations following the anticipated divestment of its fiber business by 2026.
Bears say
Crown Castle's site rental revenue for the tower segment declined by 0.8% year-over-year, amounting to $1.07 billion, and both EBITDA and AFFO per share fell short of consensus estimates, indicating operational challenges. The company's highly concentrated customer base results in approximately 75% of revenue coming from the three major US mobile carriers, which poses risks from market consolidation and potential decreases in customer demand. Additionally, the upcoming divestiture of its fiber business for $8.5 billion, which was significantly below market expectations, raises concerns about asset valuation and the future sustainability of revenue streams in a competitive environment.
