About: Crown Castle owns and leases roughly 40,000 cell towers in the United States. It also owns more than 90,000 route miles of fiber. It leases space on its towers to wireless service providers, which install equipment on the towers to support their wireless networks. Crown Castle's towers and fiber are predominantly in the largest US cities. The company has a very concentrated customer base, with about 75% of its revenue from the Big Three US mobile carriers. Crown Castle operates as a real estate investment trust. It has announced plans to divest its fiber business, which should be finalized in 2026. After that, Crown will be a stand-alone tower operator.

REITweek Conference: Fresh Data On All Things REIT
REITweek 2025 highlighted a massive disconnect between public REIT prices and private real estate values, with most sectors trading at steep NAV discounts. Management teams are aggressively pursuing share buybacks, capitalizing on the undervaluation to drive immediate NAV and AFFO/share accretion. The best opportunities are in shopping centers, industrial, farmland, and timberland—sectors with rising property values, strong fundamentals, and highly transactable assets.

Should You Buy Crown Castle For Its Yield?
Crown Castle's shift to a pure-play tower REIT and fiber asset sales will strengthen its balance sheet but reduce business diversification and increase customer concentration. Despite a dividend cut, CCI still offers an attractive 4.2% yield, higher than peers, though future dividend growth is expected to be modest. Ongoing Sprint lease churn and management uncertainty, including a CEO search, add risk and limit near-term growth prospects.
