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.
