Forward price target — the 1-year figure is the analyst consensus where the stock is covered; the 5- and 10-year figures compound our earnings estimate from there. The DCF below is a separate cross-check on intrinsic value (what it's worth today), not another target.

A peer-relative read for reits on profitability (ROE, depreciation-adjusted), valuation, and covered income — the quality-growth (FCF/ROIC) screen doesn't apply to balance-sheet businesses. Not comparable to the 0–100 quality-growth score shown on other stocks.

Why now
REIT - Specialty · market cap $34.7b. Down 31% from 52-week high of $115.76 — deep drawdown territory. 19 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $99.07 (implying +25% upside).
Moat
Net margin 25% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close.
Risk
Down 31% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Dividend payout 179% of earnings on a 5.4% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.
Horizon
1-3 yr $99.07 (19-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $145.05 at ~13% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $215.18 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Crown Castle Inc. (CCI): score, valuation & FAQ

Crown Castle Inc. (CCI) is a REIT - Specialty company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Yield (A-), while Rev (D+) rate weaker.

Is CCI a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings grades CCI on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by Yield (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Crown Castle Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

How does Bull Rankings grade CCI?

As a bank, insurer or REIT, CCI isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on Yield (A-) and weakest on Rev (D+).

Is CCI overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for CCI — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in CCI?

Down 31% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Dividend payout 179% of earnings on a 5.4% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.
