Crown Castle: Dividend Cut Lining Up, Stock Still Modestly Attractive

We had previously identified a sub $100 price as potentially attractive for Crown Castle Inc. stock. The company is negotiating the sale of its fiber business, with offers around $8 billion, far less than the $20 billion invested. Despite the potential for a large dividend cut, we believe CCI's underlying business is undervalued at current prices.

Crown Castle: Dividend Cut Lining Up, Stock Still Modestly Attractive

Volatility Is Back

US equity markets posted modest declines this week amid a "DeepSeek" tumble, while interest rates declined to six-week lows as markets responded to the pause in the Fed's rate-cutting cycle. The Nasdaq 100 was the center of the action this week, dipping 1.4% on concern over potential competition from Chinese startup DeepSeek, which sparked a sharp sell-off in AI-darlings. Real estate equities were among the stronger performers for a third-straight week, buoyed by easing interest rates and by a relatively solid start to REIT earnings season.

Morning In America

Following the best week since November, U.S. markets posted their best first-week of a Presidential term since 1985 as investors saw business-friendly undertones in the early days of the new administration. Striking an agreeable tone for markets that were wary of the inflationary impacts of trade and fiscal policy, President Trump focused on supply side policies and didn't immediately implement sweeping tariffs. Posting record-highs for the first time since early December, the S&P 500 gained another 1.7% on the week, notching back-to-back weekly gains following a stretch of 4-of-5 weekly losses.

Crown Castle: Towers Of Disappointment For Investors

Crown Castle is considering selling its fiber business to TPG for $8B, potentially unlocking value by focusing on its core tower segment. The company's dividend yield is high but likely unsustainable, with a potential cut if the fiber segment sale proceeds, impacting future payouts. Crown Castle's balance sheet is strained, with high leverage and rising interest payments, making debt reduction crucial if the fiber sale happens.
