TAMPA, Fla. , Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Crown Castle Inc. is restructuring, cutting 7,000 greenfield small cell nodes to save $800 million, and is focusing on less risky colocation projects for growth. Crown Castle will likely experience a contraction in Q4 '24 with a modest turnaround for growth come eFY25. The rate environment may support a more appealing refinancing environment in 2026. Management needs to communicate their intentions for the fiber business with a more solidified plan.

Crown Castle is poised for double-digit growth with a 40,000 small cell node backlog, benefiting from rising mobile data demand. Despite recent underperformance, CCI's strong balance sheet and cost-saving measures position it well for future growth and operational efficiency. The 5.4% dividend yield offers income, but potential fiber business sales could risk a dividend cut.

CCI's Q3 AFFO outshines estimates due to a year-over-year rise in site rental revenues. However, lower services and other revenues hurt the results.
