Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Crown Castle International Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Crown Castle’s extensive tower portfolio, increased demand for infrastructure, healthy leasing activity, continual buyout of towers and growing demand for mobile broadband act as major positives. Buyout of Wilcon Holdings will enable Crown Castle attain ownership over 28,000 route miles of fiber. Moreover, Crown Castle acquired 9,700 wireless towers from AT&T and 7,200 from T-Mobile US. 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. Over the past three months, the stock price gained 2.7% as against the industry’s gain of 0.1%. However, the company continues to face headwinds like high customer concentration, and consolidated wireless industry, which is likely to affect the company's top line. Evolution of new technologies may reduce the demand for site leases and the expenses related, also raises concern." (9/20/2017)
• 2. Macquarie analysts commented, "We remain constructive on Crown’s long-term position to capitalize on the growth of small cells and a fiber footprint that will span 60k+ miles. Upcoming network investments and a focus on densification bode well for Crown, particularly with buildouts slated for ‘18/’19. However, much of the growth will be long-tailed and fiber portfolios carry different profiles. In addition, leverage of 5.9x is above its 4-5x target leaving little room for financial flexibility. Our target goes slightly lower to US$107 based on 20x ‘18E AFFO/sh to reflect revised Wilcon estimates now in guidance. Impact The US$7.1bn Lightower deal doubles Crown’s fiber footprint in top metro markets. With 32k+ miles of fiber in top cities including Boston, NYC, and Philadelphia as well as minimal overlap with Crown’s current footprint, the combined company will own/have rights to 60k+ miles of fiber. Crown’s fiber footprint will cover the top 10 markets and 23 out of the top 25 metro markets. This all-cash deal values Lightower at 13.5x adj. EBITDA (vs. Sunesys at ~16x and CCI currently trading at ~20x) and should close by year-end ’17. Within its first full year of operation, Lightower is projected to contribute: 1) US$850- 870m in site rental revenues; 2) US$163-213m in net income; 3) US$510-530m in adj. EBITDA; and 4) US$465-485m in AFFO before financing costs. Management also expects to increase the dividend by US$0.15-0.20/sh p.a; our US$107 target implies a ~4% yield with the proposed increase. The long-term dividend growth target is now 7-8% from 6-7% previously." (7/19/2017)
