Crown Castle International (CCI) operates in a highly concentrated market with only a few major players, leading to an oligopolistic environment. The company primarily provides service infrastructure to a select number of operators, which poses potential risks as one of these operators is downsizing its reliance on cell towers. This shift raises questions about the future demand and leasing of tower space, especially with the emerging competition from satellite connectivity solutions. The current industry dynamics present notable headwinds for Crown Castle, impacting its growth prospects and market stability. Investors may need to consider these factors to gauge the company's ability to sustain and grow its revenue in the face of changing technologies and market conditions.

SBAC

TOP PICK

It's about the 5G roll-out. They focus on the US space. They enjoy 30-40% growth. He's long owned it and collects the 3.5% dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $135.42)

HOLD

A communications infrastructure company in the US. They derive 40,000 cell towers (70% of their business). The rolling out of 5G requires access to these towers. A blue chip in the space that pays a good dividend. Yield 3.2%.

COMMENT

American Tower is participating in the 5G evolution in the US. Their problem is being a REIT, it creates all sorts of tax issues for Canadian investors. In the build out of 5G, a lot of smaller towers are required -- not exactly their forte. Crown Castle is probably better in this space.

BUY

vs. AMT-N He prefers another name, Crown Castle, CCI-N, which does the same thing as AMT-N, but trades at a 2-multiple point discount to American Tower. AMT is the bellweather, but CCI benefits from the towers they run but also in small-cell applications, which is like the next generation of 5G. CCI also pays a nice dividend and benefits from lower rates.

BUY

Cell providers rent their tower space, but the next phase of growth for CCI lies in 5G. 5G is a big deal. There's 50% annual growth in wireless data usage, so the providers will need to accomodate their users. The providers' spending will occur in phases, starting with building the macro networks, where CCI is well-positioned. They're also good in the electronic test/measurment. It'll be a good 5-7-year run in 5G.

COMMENT

American Tower (AMT-N), Crown Castle International (CCI-N) or SBA Communications (SBAC-Q)? US REITs with cell towers in the US. You want to own these because they have multiple tenants. The average tower has 3 or 4 tenants. They can put more and more gear on them, so there is lots of room to grow revenues. The US is going through a boom on bandwidth, certainly wireless spectrum. Of the 3, he prefers American Tower, the most international of the group.
