Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI) has announced its operational changes and updated its fiscal 2024 outlook. The changes are aimed at enhancing operational efficiencies and increasing returns within its fiber and small cell segments.
The company plans to reduce capital expenditures by $300 million and save $60 million in expenses, partly by reducing staffing levels by over 10% and closing certain offices. Specifically, Crown Castle expects to lower its gross capital expenditures in the Fiber segment by $275 million to $325 million in 2024.

While the strategic review of the Fiber segment is ongoing, Crown Castle has identified high-return opportunities in locations close to its existing fiber network. Consequently, the company is shifting its investment focus towards collocations and network-adjacent anchor nodes, aiming for double-digit revenue growth in small cell revenues over the next few years.
