Crown Castle reports Q3 AFFO $1.12, consensus $1.04

Reports Q3 revenue $1.01B, consensus $1.05B. “We delivered strong operational and financial results in the third quarter and are increasing full year 2025 Outlook as we continue to find opportunities to operate more efficiently,” stated Chris Hillabrant, Crown Castle’s (CCI) president and CEO. “I am excited by Crown Castle’s opportunity to create long-term attractive risk-adjusted returns as the only U.S. focused, large publicly traded tower company after closing the Fiber Business sale transaction, which we continue to believe will close in the first half of 2026. To maximize organic growth while enhancing profitability as a standalone tower company, we are investing in our systems to improve the quality and accessibility of asset information, streamlining processes to enhance operational flexibility, and continuing to drive efficiencies across the business. I believe these strategic priorities, combined with our previously announced capital allocation framework, will position us to maximize long-term shareholder value creation.”
