Analysis

Beloved champion

Crown Castle Inc. sits in the top corner of our grid: excellent business, premium price; every investor already knows the story.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 25.9×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 10% a year, against analyst forecasts of 47%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is fragile. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
