Crown Castle Inc. is rated a Buy due to strong 4Q24 earnings and a strategic refocus on its Tower segment after accepting an offer for its Fiber segment.

Despite a dividend cut, the stock's 4.24% yield and planned organic investments make it attractive compared to pricier competitors like American Tower and SBA Communications.
