Winner per row is the stronger grade; where grades tie, the better figure breaks it. A true tie or a missing value shows no highlight.
The companies
RYNRayonier Inc.
REIT - Specialty · $18.88 · beta 0.92
Why now
REIT - Specialty · market cap $5.6b. Down 27% from 52-week high of $25.97 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue -51% — in contraction; any catalyst that reverses this triggers re-rating. 6 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $25.00 (implying +32% upside).
Moat
Moat signals from the quantitative card are modest — profitability and capital efficiency are middle-of-pack. The thesis here depends on softer factors (switching costs, brand, distribution, regulatory protection) not captured by the quality-growth screen.
Risk
Revenue contracting -51% — the operational turn is not yet visible in the top line. Dividend payout 232% of earnings on a 5.5% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut. ROE 2% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
CCICrown Castle Inc.
REIT - Specialty · $79.56 · beta 0.96
Why now
REIT - Specialty · market cap $34.8b. Down 21% from 52-week high of $100.50 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.63 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 21 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $94.45 (implying +19% upside).
Moat
Net margin 21% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close.
Risk
Dividend payout 173% of earnings on a 5.3% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.

Common questions
Is CCI or RYN the better stock?
CCI scores higher: CCI 68.0, RYN 60.0 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth score, which blends business quality, growth and valuation into one number. A higher score means a stronger business at a more reasonable price — it is not a price target or a recommendation.
How are CCI and RYN scored?
Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site, built from three pillars — quality (profitability and returns on capital), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (what you pay for them) — combined as a geometric mean, so a weak pillar cannot be papered over by a strong one.
How current is this comparison?
The whole universe is re-scored every trading day after the US market close, so the scores and fundamentals here reflect the latest published edition.
