What Makes Crown Castle (CCI) a New Buy Stock Crown Castle (CCI) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term. zacks.com - 2 days ago
Why REITs Will Pummel Stocks In 2025 REITs have strongly outperformed the S&P 500 in the recent past. I expect this strong outperformance to continue. There are two reasons for this. seekingalpha.com - 3 days ago
Crown Castle: Buy The Dip Hand Over Fist Crown Castle Inc. presents a compelling buy-the-dip opportunity with a high dividend yield of 6.1% and a historically low valuation. CCI's strong Q3 performance, driven by robust growth in small cells and fiber solutions, underscores its resilience amidst economic uncertainties. The company's strategic focus on co-location over new builds is expected to enhance capital efficiency and support long-term growth. seekingalpha.com - 3 days ago
Forget The Election: 3 REITs To Buy Today Macroeconomics trumps politics. REITs are cheap and set to benefit from rate cuts. Here are 3 REITs that win no matter what. seekingalpha.com - 6 days ago
A Decisive Realignment U.S. equity markets soared to record highs this week after President-elect Trump scored a surprisingly decisive election victory, including a likely "trifecta" of Republican legislative control in Congress. The outcome sparked powerful moves across global financial markets as investors priced in a combination of domestic-focused and "pro-growth" economic policies but also reflected concern over deficits and immigration policy. Characteristic of the "Trump trade" dynamic, smaller-cap companies led the surge, outperforming mega-cap technology and international-heavy peers. The S&P Small-Cap 600 soared 9%, outpacing 5% gains from the S&P 500. seekingalpha.com - 6 days ago
My Portfolio's Biggest Winners And Losers From A Republican Sweep The election's swift resolution led to a sharp market reaction; S&P 500 rose ~4.5%, but REITs were weighed down by rising Treasury rates. Trump's victory is seen as inflationary, benefiting REIT fundamentals by suppressing new construction starts due to higher interest rates. My portfolio saw significant movements post-election, with regional banks and energy stocks gaining, while renewables and healthcare REITs faced short-term declines. seekingalpha.com - 1 week ago
Pivotal Decisions Ahead of a pivotal week of consequential decisions, U.S. equity markets posted a second-straight week of declines as investors parsed a relatively disappointing slate of employment and inflation data. The pivotal Nonfarm Payrolls report showed that the U.S. economy added just 12k jobs in October - the weakest month since 2020 - with notably weaker trends under the surface. Private employment declined by 28k during the month, fueled by the largest plunge in manufacturing employment since the pandemic shutdown, alongside job declines in retail, transportation, and hospitality. seekingalpha.com - 1 week ago
Top 3 REIT Picks for 2025: High Yields and Rising Earnings Ahead Real Estate Investment Trusts, also known as REITs, are a type of stock market investment that provides one thing in spades: income. This is because they must distribute at least 90% of their earnings to shareholders to maintain their tax-advantaged status. marketbeat.com - 2 weeks ago
3 REITs With Rapid Dividend Growth Most REITs are in a strong position to grow their dividend in 2025. But some are growing far faster than others. I discuss 3 of the fastest growing REITs. seekingalpha.com - 2 weeks ago
Brace For Volatility U.S. equity markets snapped a six-week winning streak, while benchmark interest rates surged to three-month highs as investors braced for a volatile two-week stretch of market-moving events. Another surprisingly solid slate of domestic economic data - highlighted by improved jobless claims and consumer sentiment reports - lifted the U.S. Economic Surprise Index to the highest-level since April. Retreating from record-highs, the S&P 500 finished lower by 1% on the week, declining for just the second time in the past twelve weeks. Rate-sensitive segments and small-caps were laggards. seekingalpha.com - 2 weeks ago
Crown Castle Is Still A Better Play Than American Tower American Tower Corporation's international growth and asset sales have improved its relative position, but Crown Castle Inc. remains a strong buy due to its upside potential. Crown Castle has faced revenue and profit declines, largely due to Sprint cancellations, but remains a cash cow with potential asset sales as a growth catalyst. American Tower has shown consistent growth and better profit margins, making it a solid buy, though it is pricier than Crown Castle. seekingalpha.com - 3 weeks ago
Crown Castle: Paving The Way For AI-Backed Dividends Crown Castle remains a solid investment with a 5.6% yield, covered by earnings, despite slower growth and operational challenges. CCI's valuation has improved, and it is well-positioned to capitalize on 5G deployment and increasing data transport demand. The company's strong fundamentals, high forecast accuracy, and significant infrastructure assets make it a low-risk investment with potential for 17.5% annualized returns. seekingalpha.com - 3 weeks ago
