Crown Castle stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Crown Castle's earnings grow at the 42.2% a year analysts expect to FY2028, then 15.0% a year, it would earn about 3.88 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (33.3 to 37.5) that is 129.12 to 145.36 a share, or 136.81 at its average P/E of 35.3. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 1.93 | 64.30 | 68.13 | 72.39 |
| FY2027 | 2.86 | 95.06 | 100.71 | 107.01 |
| FY2028 | 2.93 | 97.63 | 103.44 | 109.91 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 3.37 | 112.28 | 118.96 | 126.40 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 3.88 | 129.12 | 136.81 | 145.36 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 15.0% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (33.3, 35.3, 37.5).
Is Crown Castle stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Crown Castle's P/E of 37.5 is above the middle of its 5-year range (21.8 to 89.4, median 34.8). Analysts expect faster growth than in recent years, which can explain part of the high P/E. Fair value is not a reliable guide for Crown Castle: it made a loss in FY2024, so its usual P/E says little about what it is worth. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 46.6.
