Crown Castle (CCI) recently beat earnings estimates and announced plans to divest its small cell and fiber businesses, leading to an 11.81% share price increase over the last month. While a fair value estimate suggests the stock is 8.6% undervalued at $90.43 compared to $98.91, its P/E ratio of 35.8x appears expensive against peers, raising questions about whether future growth is already priced in. Investors should consider both the potential value unlock from the tower business focus and risks like EchoStar Dish lease uncertainty and a planned dividend cut.
