I'm Joshua Frantz.

Crown Castle (CCI) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Given heightened economic uncertainty, I am leaning more defensive and sticking with my dividend growth investing strategy, emphasizing diversification and income stability. The frozen housing market, soft labor conditions, and stagnating consumer spending signal potential economic weakness, despite optimism in select sectors like tech. My ETF portfolio review shows shifting leadership, with midstream energy outperforming previously, but preferreds and tech-focused ETFs now leading as trends evolve.

HOUSTON, Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE: CCI) ("Crown Castle") announced today that Sunit Patel, Crown Castle's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is scheduled to present on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at 9:30 a.m.

U.S. equity markets were little-changed this past week as a tranquil end-of-summer week with status-quo inflation and economic indicators concluded with a jolting post-close tariff headline with highly uncertain implications. An appeals court ruled that the White House exceeded its authority under the Emergency Powers Act - the mechanism used for broad “reciprocal” tariffs - setting up a final Supreme Court showdown. The fresh injection of tariff uncertainty precedes a critical stretch of employment and inflation data and a mid-September Federal Reserve meeting that is increasingly likely to be highly contentious.

CCI's vast tower portfolio, long-term leases with major carriers, and strong balance sheet fuel its growth prospects.

Here is how Crown Castle (CCI) and Credicorp (BAP) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

The Dow Jones Equity All REIT index grew 0.59% during the recent week, while the MSCI US REIT index increased 0.71%. The healthcare REIT index was the sole Dow Jones US real estate sector property index to close the recent week in the red, down 1.57%. Cannabis-oriented Innovative Industrial Properties Inc. was the top-performing REIT stock above a $200 million market capitalization for the recent week, with a share-price gain of 14.01%.

U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record highs this week despite a jump in producer prices, but consumer inflation remained "cool enough" to keep the Fed on-course for September rate cuts. Despite the inflation uptick in July, all three major CPI and PPI metrics remained below the annualized levels seen in January preceding the initial wave of tariffs. Ahead of the Chair Powell's "farewell tour" in Jackson Hole, the inevitability of significantly easier monetary policy by mid-2026 - at the latest- has fully taken hold in recent weeks.

Crown Castle's divestiture of small cells and fiber, CEO change, and dividend cut refocus the company on its core tower business and balance sheet improvement. While the AFFO outlook has improved, the current valuation offers little margin of safety, and the dividend yield is now less attractive after the recent cut. Rate cuts and 5G-driven tower demand are key future catalysts, but benefits will be industry-wide, not unique to CCI.
