What the filing says
Crown Castle completed the sale of its Fiber and Small Cell businesses to EQT and Zayo on May 1, 2026, for $8.4 billion in net proceeds ($8.5 billion gross less $124 million adjustments). The company used proceeds to repurchase $1 billion in stock and repay $7 billion in debt. Q2 2026 AFFO increased 10% to $488 million ($1.13/share) vs. Q2 2025; full-year 2026 AFFO guidance raised by $5 million to $1,950–$2,000 million midpoint ($4.53–$4.65/share).
Why this rating
Fiber sale materially deleverages balance sheet and returns capital; company now pure-play U.S. tower operator. Event significant relative to $44.7B market cap but execution on capital allocation is strong and maintains dividend stability.
