The Quality Score for CCI stands at 4.2 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Crown Castle International Corp in the mixed quality band. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. It rolls Crown Castle International Corp’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Set against 84 Real Estate companies, Crown Castle International Corp lands at the 28th percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.2 and a company needs 5.9 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Crown Castle International Corp below the median.
Profitability scores 7.7 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 80 Real Estate companies is 4.8, so Crown Castle International Corp is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 89th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
Solvency scores 1.6 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 34 Real Estate companies is 3.7, so Crown Castle International Corp is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 9th percentile. Weak solvency means debt is heavy relative to earnings or cash flow, which makes the business more sensitive to interest rates and to any fall in profits.
On growth, Crown Castle International Corp scores 2.1, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 5.2 across 74 Real Estate companies, which places it well below them, at the 10th percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
Efficiency scores 5.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 80 Real Estate companies is 6.4, so Crown Castle International Corp is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 34th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Crown Castle International Corp’s predictability score is 3.7 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.9 among 83 Real Estate companies, that is below the group and the 33rd percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.
The gap between Crown Castle International Corp’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 7.7 against solvency at 1.6, 6.1 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. When solvency is the soft spot, the question is how much of the cash flow is already spoken for by debt.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is growth. If it rose to the median of Real Estate companies, 5.2, Crown Castle International Corp’s overall score would go from 4.2 to about 4.8. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Crown Castle International Corp has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
