Crown Castle is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies.

Crown Castle Inc. earned $283 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −12.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $444 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −20.2% a year on average. That is 28.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $323 M.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

2 of the last 11 reported quarters were loss-making.

Crown Castle Inc. reported $995 M of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, −7.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown −9.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $4.3 B. The last four reported quarters add to $4.1 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The quarterly figures for FY23 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums.

FY25 revenue was $4.3 B, −4.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −5.3% on average, against −9.4% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Crown Castle Inc.'s operating margin was 47.4% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 1.9 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 31.9% and 49.3%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason.

Over the last 3 years, 250% of Crown Castle Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $3.1 B of operating cash against $444 M of profit.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets.

Crown Castle Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean.

Crown Castle Inc.'s P/E is 48.6×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 72% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 38.1×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Crown Castle Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 7 quarters of 0 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

The return-on-capital line is not shown: net worth is negative, so a return on capital means nothing. The balance sheet is in distress, and this reading uses the growth lines alone.

One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Crown Castle Inc. earned a ROE of −27% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 10.4% net margin and 0.14× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 10.4% net margin × 0.14× asset turnover × −19.28× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −28.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 5.1% − 7.4% = −2.3 percentage points. The 7.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve.

The 5.1% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY23 at 6.1%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

Crown Castle Inc.'s net worth is negative: it owes more than it owns, so a debt-to-equity ratio means nothing here. Year by year, that ratio went from 3.27 in FY21 to −18.08 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.
