Crown Castle Inc. (CCI) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $89.86 the price implies FFO a share growing 5.0% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew −1.5% a year over the last ten years, −8.6% over the last five. The price asks for 6.6 points a year more than its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 4.1%.

In December 2017 the price assumed 8.8% a year; Crown Castle Inc. went on to grow FFO a share −0.8% a year to FY2025.

FFO a share is worked out from Crown Castle Inc.’s 10-Ks and 10-Qs: net income, plus the depreciation of its property and impairments, less gains on property sales. It reported AFFO of $1.24 a share for Q3 2026.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

Its assumptions

Powerpack lets you start from a scenario and type over any of them.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · FFO a share
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in FFO a share. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies FFO a share growing 5.0% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Advanced inputs

Against Crown Castle Inc.’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 0.91 × equity premium 4.5% = 8.4% cost of equity; weighted, 8.4%.

CCI trades at 19.10× P/FFO, against a 10-year average of 21.70× (range 13.48×–32.09×). That is cheaper than 67% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $102.09 per share.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
