Crown Castle (CCI) Q2 FY26 earnings call

Crown Castle delivered solid second-quarter results, marked by the successful divestiture of its small cell and fiber businesses, solidifying its focus as a pure-play U.S. tower operator. The company raised its full-year AFFO guidance, driven by financial efficiencies, while navigating the complexities of the DISH Wireless bankruptcy.
