Crown Castle Inc
CCI · US
Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 12 valuation models · updated yesterday
Share price −4.2% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 50% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($63.87). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($12.97 to $63.87). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (58/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- As a real-estate business, asset- and dividend-based methods carry more weight here than a standard DCF.

Analysis
Crown Castle Inc (CCI) currently trades at $75.73, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $37.67, implying the stock looks roughly 50.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Crown Castle Inc generated revenue of $4.2B at a net margin of 25.1%. Revenue declined 4.8% year over year. Net debt stands at $29.3B. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 32.0. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $12.97 (bear case) to $63.87 (bull case); at $75.73, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 31% below its 52-week high and 1% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at -54% fair-value upside, at -50%, CCI screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 12 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($78.56) versus Multiples ($17.29). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
