Crown Castle Inc. has successfully completed the $8.5 billion sale of its small cells and fiber solutions business to enhance its financial position. This strategic move will facilitate significant share buybacks and reduce debt, leading to an anticipated decrease in interest expenses by $40 million in 2026 and an increase in interest income by $10 million. Following the sale, the company raised its 2026 AFFO per share guidance and saw a 13.9% increase in share price. Previously, Crown Castle reported a strong Q1 for 2026 with $1.01 billion in revenue and a recovery to $151 million in net income, even as it prepares for a full-year net loss of up to $920 million and continues legal actions against DISH Network.
