Crown Castle Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

Crown Castle generated a negative expected return over the last 90 days
The company has 28.81 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 3.62, meaning that the company heavily relies on borrowing funds for operations. Crown Castle has a current ratio of 0.45, suggesting that it has not enough short term capital to pay financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Crown Castle until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Crown Castle's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Crown Castle sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Crown to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Crown Castle's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Crown Castle Greeks

Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Crown Castle or Diversified REITs sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Crown Castle's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Crown stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.

The market value of Crown Castle is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Crown that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Crown Castle's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Crown Castle's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Crown Castle's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Crown Castle's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Crown Castle's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Crown Castle is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Crown Castle's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
