CCI dividend analysis

CCI dividend deep dive

CCI pays $7.78 per share annually, a 3.60% yield against the current price. The 36% payout sits inside the 60% threshold that's the conventional comfort zone for ongoing distribution growth.

Quality + Risk pillar breakdown on the CCI dividend: Quality 41, Risk 72, composite safety 47/100. The Risk pillar specifically captures balance-sheet leverage and earnings volatility, both of which weigh on the distribution's durability through cycles.

CCI reinvested-yield math, holding TTM yield (3.60%) and 5y CAGR (10.6%) constant: 5/10/20-year cumulative income totals 21.6% / 47.8% / 118.3%.

Sector dividend comp for CCI: KO (5.00%), PG (1.50%), PEP (2.90%) (mean 3.13%). On the trailing TTM line, CCI pays 3.60% — a +0.47-pp gap to the cohort mean.

CCI dividend calendar: ex-date 2026-03-01, pay date 2026-03-15. The pattern is quarterly, which means four payments per year at the current $1.945 per quarter run-rate.

Bottom line on CCI: 3.60% TTM yield + 10.6% growth + 47/100 safety. The forward question is whether the 36% payout ratio leaves enough free cash flow for continued growth at the current pace.
