Key statistics
The headline figures for CCI.
As of October 27, 2026, CCI trades at $87.87, with a market value of $38.40B, a P/E ratio of 35.29 and a dividend yield of 4.84%.
What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of CCI's valuation, growth and risks.
CCI trades at 35.29 times trailing earnings, which is 21.1% below the Real Estate median P/E of 44.7. The peer comparison on this page calls that a discount to peers. On sales, the P/S of 9.40 is 9.6% below the sector median of 10.4. The company's market value stands at $38.4B.
Profitability shows a net margin of 26.4% and an operating margin of 47.44%. It also reports a trailing dividend yield of 4.84% ($4.25 a share a year).
CCI's latest report came on October 21, 2026. It showed earnings of $0.67 a share, short of the $0.69 analyst estimate, a miss of 2.90%. Despite the shortfall, the stock climbed 0.23% in the next session.
CCI has beaten the EPS estimate in 4 of the 5 reports in our data, yet a beat has not always lifted the shares, which fell the next session after 1 of those 4 beats. For the current fiscal year, analysts average an EPS estimate of $2.50, a decline of 0.9%. For next year they expect $2.93, a rise of 17.3%.
CCI moves an average of 3.59% a day, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 0.96. Insiders sold $9.4M of stock over the last 18 months and bought $113K. Insider sales are often planned in advance or made to cover tax on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than open-market buying.

Revenue and earnings
How much CCI sells, and how much of it becomes profit.
The quarterly bars end with Q2 '26 (the quarter to June 30, 2026); CCI reported again on October 21, 2026, and that quarter is not in our statement data yet. The 12-month figures come from the statistics feed and may include it.
Revenue growth: Revenue fell 35.1% in FY2025 to $4.3B, from $6.6B a year earlier.
Profit margin: The net margin was 10.4% in FY2025, up from -59.4% the year before.
Profitable: CCI earned $444M in FY2025.
Earnings reality check
Did CCI beat what analysts expected, and how did the stock react?
Earnings record: CCI beat the analyst estimate in 4 of the 5 reports in our data.
Market reaction: The stock fell in the first session after 1 of those 4 beats, so a beat has not been enough on its own.

CleaRank Financial AI analysis of CCI
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
CCI is trending up. The stock sits at $87.87, which is 17.20% above its 50-day average of $74.98 and 6.82% above its 200-day average of $82.26. The price is at 75% of its 52-week range and 7.82% below the 52-week high of $95.32. The 50-day average is still 8.85% below the 200-day, since the shorter average lags the price.
Momentum is stretched for CCI: the 14-day RSI sits at 74.0, which is in overbought territory, and the MACD line is positive. The longer record is weaker than the recent run. Over the past month the price rose 29.53% and over the past three months it rose 16.00%, yet over the past year it fell 9.97%. In the last session the price rose 0.46% on volume that was 34.4% below its average.

- Two levels matter most. Above the price, the 52-week high sits at $95.32. Below it, the 200-day SMA is at $82.26.
- A 14-day RSI of 74.0 places CCI in the overbought zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- The share price moved up 0.23% in the first session after the October 21, 2026 report. Across the 5 reports in our data, CCI beat estimates 4 times.
CCI trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($74.98 and $82.26), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 200-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 200-day SMA at $82.26.
The 52-week high at $95.32 is the next level overhead. With the RSI in overbought territory, a pause would not end the trend by itself, but a drop back out of the bullish zone would show momentum fading.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in CCI, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in CCI today could grow to about $11,218 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $22,447 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $5,607. The simulation models price only; at today's 4.84% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
CCI Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $98.58 for CCI by 2030 in the base case, from $87.87 today (1.1x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $49.27. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on CCI's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $63.93 | $90.43 | $128 | |
| 2028 | $56.99 | $93.07 | $152 | |
| 2029 | $52.53 | $95.78 | $175 | |
| 2030 | $49.27 | $98.58 | $197 |
