Crown Castle completed a strategic transformation, divesting Fiber and Small Cell assets to become a pure-play US tower REIT. CCI used $8.4 billion in proceeds to repay $7 billion in debt and repurchase $1 billion in shares, materially strengthening its balance sheet. Despite a 32% dividend cut, CCI offers a 5.6% yield, but the payout ratio remains above management's long-term target, limiting near-term dividend growth.

I've increased cell tower REIT allocation to 10.7%, citing 6-7% projected AFFO/share growth in 2027–2028 and attractive risk-reward.
American Tower and Crown Castle both raised guidance and cut dividend checks this month, but the coverage math behind those payouts tells a story that should make income investors look twice before treating them as equals.
