Crown Castle Continues to Languish
Image: Crown Castle’s shares have not fared well through 2023, and we’ll be looking to remove them from the High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio in coming months. Crown Castle benefits from attractive tower economics as it can scale customers across its shared infrastructure to drive increased profitability, but the company's massive net cash position continues to weigh on our enthusiasm of the company. Shares of the firm may get a bounce as spot interest rates may continue to ease in the near term, but we’ll be looking to remove it from the simulated High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio in the coming months. We also plan to remove the Vanguard Real Estate ETF from that portfolio, too.

Call Me Unconcerned
Image: Large cap growth has dominated returns the past five years. The Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio continues to have significant exposure to this area. We’re taking it slow this time of year. With the area of large cap growth nearly doubling since the beginning of 2018, trouncing the return of the broader market, dividend growth strategies, the area of small cap value and general REIT indices, it’s just hard to find much wrong with staying pat. The proliferation of artificial intelligence will likely propel big cap tech and large cap growth to new highs, while small cap value may continue to be weighed down by the banks--and dividend-oriented strategies may face continued pressure from rising interest rates and tired real estate markets. Things were a bit murky during 2022, but thanks for keeping the faith.

Small Cell Deployments a Growth Avenue for Tower Operator Crown Castle
Image: Crown Castle has grown its dividend payout at a compound annual growth rate of ~9% during the past several years. Image Source: Crown Castle. Crown Castle remains one of our favorite income ideas thanks in part to its free-cash-flow rich, asset-light, contractual recurring revenue business model that is tied to long-term secular growth trends in mobile device data usage. The REIT’s forward estimated dividend yield stands at ~5%.

AT&T Disappoints Again
Image: AT&T is back in the doghouse, as free cash flow generation came in worse than expected during its first-quarter 2023 results. Image Source: AT&T. AT&T’s forward estimated dividend yield of 5.6% is attractive at face value, but the economics of its business continue to leave a lot to be desired, in our view. Not only is the company saddled with a tremendous amount of net debt to the tune of a whopping $134.7 billion, resulting in an annualized net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.22x, but the company operates a capital-intensive model that eats into its operating cash flow.

Our Reports on Stocks in the Telecom Services Industry
Image Source: Mike Mozart.  Our reports on stocks in the Telecom Services industry can be found in this article. Reports include CMCSA, DISH, T, TMUS, VZ, SBAC, AMT, CCI, PARA. The telecom industry is characterized by rapid technological change, intense competition and pricing pressures. The mature wireline segment remains under attack from cable/wireless products. Mobile technology enhancements such as the iPhone continue to attract new wireless subscribers in less saturated markets, but this has not lessened the intensity of competition. Industry constituents continue to pursue acquisitions in order to reduce bloated cost structures and achieve synergies. Average revenue per subscriber and churn rates should be monitored closely. We’re neutral on the structure of the group.
