During the third quarter 2024 earnings call for Crown Castle, the company reaffirmed its full-year guidance for adjusted EBITDA and AFFO, projecting consolidated organic revenue growth of approximately 5%. This growth includes a 4.5% increase in towers, 10% in small cells, and 2% in fiber solutions. Despite a reduction in the 2024 net income outlook due to a $125 million to $150 million anticipated asset write-off, the company expects strong performance from its 40,000-node small cell backlog, with more than 70% being colocation nodes.
