CCI CROWN CASTLE INC. Insider Trading

Director Kevin A. Stephens purchases 820 CCI shares in open-market buy; stock trading well below highs amid valuation pressure.

Director Kevin A. Stephens acquired shares in Crown Castle at a price near the current market level, continuing a pattern of consistent buying activity with a perfect track record on prior purchases in this stock. The stock is currently trading significantly below its highs of the past year, suggesting Stephens is buying during a period of weakness rather than chasing momentum. While the company remains profitable and generates substantial revenue, it faces earnings pressure and is trading at an elevated valuation multiple, indicating the market is pricing in uncertainty. Stephens' repeat purchase—following a buy just a year prior—suggests conviction that the current weakness presents an opportunity, particularly given his demonstrated success timing prior acquisitions in this company.

EVP & CTO Schlanger sells 30,000 CCI shares at $98.08; stock down 14.3% from 52-week high

SCHLANGER DANIEL K, serving as EVP and CTO, sold 30,000 shares of CROWN CASTLE INC. at $98.08 on 2025-10-24 for a total of $2,942,295.00, reducing his holdings by 31.4% to 65,571 shares post-transaction. The sale occurs with the stock trading at $97.60 current price, -14.3% from its 52-week high of $113.91 and down 10.7% over the 90-day period. Reviewing his same-ticker history at CCI, Schlanger's two prior measurable sales both posted negative 90-day returns (-1.2% and -1.7%), establishing a 100% well-timed rate at this specific ticker, though the broader cross-ticker track record shows mixed outcomes with a 100% well-timed sell rate but an average 90-day return of -1.4%. CCI's fundamentals present a headwind: the company is currently unprofitable on a full-year basis, annual revenue declined 5.9% year-over-year despite posting $1.1B in quarterly revenue and $291.0M quarterly net income, signaling near-term or cyclical softness that may warrant attention from equity investors.

Interim CEO Daniel K. Schlanger sold 15,000 shares of CCI at $105.80, reducing holdings by 13.6% to 95,571 shares.

Schlanger sold 15,000 shares for $1,586,925.00 at $105.80 on 2025-08-08, reducing his position from 110,571 to 95,571 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 100.00% well-timed sell rate across 2 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -1.4%, and his same-ticker history at CCI shows 2 prior sells on 2025-05-02 were both well-timed at the 90-day mark (90d returns of -1.2% and -1.7%). The stock currently trades at $103.78, down 13.7% from its 52-week high of $120.25, though up 1.0% over 30 days and 5.6% over 90 days. Notably, the company reported negative full-year net income, annual revenue declined 5.9% year-over-year, and this sale represents an interim CEO's discretionary share reduction during a period of operational and financial headwinds. The timing pattern of his prior transactions at this ticker aligns with sell-side outcomes, though the broad context of company-wide profitability challenges and the interim CEO status merit closer examination.

Director Kevin A Stephens purchases 380 CCI shares at $103.27 as stock trades 16.4% below 52-week high.

Kevin A Stephens, a director of Crown Castle, acquired 380 shares at $103.27 on 2025-05-09, increasing his holdings to 20,441 shares. The purchase occurs as CCI trades at $100.48, down 16.4% from its 52-week high of $120.25 and in a company reporting negative net income of $-464,000,000 over its most recent full fiscal year. Stephens' cross-ticker track record shows limited predictive value: his prior two open-market buys averaged a 90-day return of -0.4% with a 50% win rate, while his one prior purchase at this ticker in May 2023 declined 8.2% over 90 days. The director's purchase is modest in size relative to his existing stake, and the timing—following a significant decline from peak—does not offset the fundamental constraint of the company's current unprofitability and negative annual revenue growth of -5.9%.

EVP & General Counsel Adams sells 8,000 CCI shares at $106.37, reducing stake 28% amid -5.9% revenue decline

Adams Edward B JR, EVP and General Counsel, sold 8,000 shares of Crown Castle on 2025-05-02 at $106.37, reducing his holdings from 28,528 to 20,528 shares (a -28.0% reduction). The sale occurs against a backdrop of deteriorating financial metrics: Crown Castle posted -5.9% annual revenue growth and reported negative full-year net income in its most recent fiscal year, despite a $1.7B revenue quarterly run rate. The stock has appreciated 5.4% over 30 days and 18.4% over 90 days, placing the transaction at $106.37 relative to a current price of $106.42 and a 52-week high of $120.25. A senior executive liquidating over a quarter of holdings during a company contraction warrants investor attention to near-term capital allocation and management's own assessment of value.

CCI interim CEO Schlanger sells 20,000 shares ($2.1M) at $106.38 avg; stock -11.5% from 52-week high, company unprofitable in prior fiscal year

Daniel K. Schlanger, Interim President & CEO of Crown Castle, executed 2 separate sales totaling 20,000 shares for $2,127,602.50 at an average blended price of $106.38 on 2025-05-02, reducing his post-transaction holdings from 130.6K to 110.6K shares (-15.3%). The sales occur at a time when the stock is -11.5% from its 52-week high ($120.25) but up 18.4% over the prior 90 days, suggesting the position occurred amid a period of upward momentum. Crown Castle reported a full-year net loss in its most recent fiscal year, alongside a -5.9% annual revenue decline, creating a backdrop of operational headwinds that contextualizes the timing of an executive's material reduction in personal holdings.

His same-ticker track record at CCI shows 3 prior buy transactions (all in September 2022) with negative returns in both 30- and 90-day windows (ranging from -22.5% to -18.2% at 90 days), though those trades occurred in a notably different market environment.
