The recent update indicates a tremendous upward shift in
Crown Castle Inc (NYSE:CCI)'s growth, owing to its Q1 performance exceeding the adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) estimations. The results highlighted a strategic shift of the company towards becoming a
pure-play tower operator, exhibiting a five percent growth in the tower business despite a slight drop in revenue. Architects of the company's Q1 surprising performance pointed to a concentrated risk strategy which led to price target raise by
RBC Capital,
KeyBanc, and others. Interestingly, investors see optimism about future prospects due to
Crown Castle's existing stake broadening by Becker Capital Management and other entities. However, declines were observed from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria and others, showing a mixed reaction to the strategy. Further signifying their strategic shift was the announcement of the
$8.5 billion fiber unit sale, carving a pathway for Crown Castle to focus on its growing tower business. Coupled with this, the company targets a massive share repurchase of
$3 billion and a $6 billion debt repayment strategy.
