During the Crown Castle Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided guidance for the upcoming year, emphasizing its strategic transition following the sale of its Fiber segment to EQT Active Core Infrastructure fund and Zayo Group Holdings. The transaction, expected to close in the first half of 2026, is set to transform Crown Castle into a focused U.S. tower company.

Crown Castle also plans to adjust its dividend to approximately $4.25 per share, aligning it with 75% to 80% of its AFFO excluding prepaid rent amortization. The company is targeting an investment-grade credit rating with a leverage ratio between 6 and 6.5 times.Definitive Agreement to Sell Fiber Segment
