What are Wall Street analysts saying about Crown Castle International stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Crown Castle International stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the past six months, shares of Crown Castle grew 10.7% outperforming its industry's loss of 9.7%. Further, we apprecitae Crown Castle’s efforts to diversify its business from a tower operator to a fiber provider. The deployment of 5G network should drive growth on the company’s tower and small cell assets as the wireless carriers look to expand and enhance their networks. Extensive tower portfolio, increased demand for infrastructure, healthy leasing activity, continual buyout of towers and growing demand for mobile broadband are other positives. However, customer concentration is very high for Crown Castle. Consolidation in the wireless industry may reduce demand for cell tower deployments and is likely to impact Crown Castle’s top line. Evolution of new technologies may reduce the demand for site leases and increase the expenses." (3/28/2018)
- 2. Macquarie analysts commented, "We assign a slightly lower multiple to reflect the fiber business which is characterized by higher churn/lower growth vs Crown’s legacy business. Our TP goes to US$119 from US$107 based on a blended multiple of 19x our ‘19E AFFO/sh. Impact For the first time in 1+ years, results did not come in at the high-end of consensus estimates; we model 4Q AFFO/sh of US$1.06, in line with guidance. #1 As expected, ’18 guidance came in to set domestic standards for the industry. Crown was the first to give us a sneak peek into ’18 expectations which reflect 29-30%, 9-16%, and 17-20% site rental revenue, adj. EBITDA, and AFFO/sh growth (based on the mid-point of ’17 guidance). Our estimates are in line with guidance (Fig." (10/22/2017)
