Crown Castle (CCI) Positioned for Long-Term Growth in Tower Leasing

Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE:CCI) ranks among the best high profit margin stocks to buy. On March 5, Bernstein SocGen Group began coverage of Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE:CCI) with an Outperform rating and a $102 price target. The firm forecasts revenue growth will rebound to the low single digits following recent low years, including a 2026 slump caused by $3.5 billion in Dish cancellations.

Crown Castle’s quarterly results were impacted by a dispute with former DISH Network following the cancellation of wireless tower contracts. DISH had been Crown Castle’s largest additive customer in recent years, though it currently accounts for about 5% of total annual site rental revenue as of the end of 2025.

Crown Castle’s towers earn $102,000 per site, trailing competitors American Tower at $125,000 and SBA Communications at $107,000. Bernstein expects carrier renewals in the coming years to result in around 3% year-over-year increase, excluding Sprint and Dish turnover.

Crown Castle Inc. is a major player in the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector, with a sizable portfolio that comprises over 40,000 cell towers.
