An update from Crown Castle ( (CCI) ) is now available.
On February 4, 2026, Crown Castle launched a restructuring plan to streamline its towers and corporate operations, cutting roughly 20% of its headcount in continuing operations and targeting about $65 million in annualized operating cost savings as it works to complete the sale of its Fiber Business. The plan, which is expected to be substantially implemented by the second quarter of 2026 with payments extending through the first quarter of 2027, will generate an estimated $30 million in restructuring charges, including about $20 million in first-quarter 2026 severance and other one-time employee-related cash costs and up to $10 million in additional cash charges tied to office consolidation and downsizing IT contracts; the charges, which will not yield tax benefits due to the company’s REIT status, come as Crown Castle reports 2025 site rental revenue and adjusted EBITDA declines but improved net income and issues a 2026 outlook that anticipates further revenue and EBITDA pressure while modestly growing AFFO and holding its annual dividend at $4.25 per share.
The most recent analyst rating on (CCI) stock is a Buy with a $115.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Crown Castle stock, see the CCI Stock Forecast page.

Crown Castle’s overall stock score is primarily impacted by its poor financial performance, characterized by declining revenue, negative profitability, and high leverage. Technical analysis and valuation also present challenges, with bearish trends and a negative P/E ratio. While the earnings call provided some positive outlooks, significant operational challenges and the impact of Sprint cancellations weigh heavily on the score.
