Crown REIT's $510M Trading Volume Plummets to 200th in Market Activity Amid Telecom Sector Challenges

Crown closed on Sept. 9, 2025, , ranking it 200th in market activity. The REIT’s performance reflects broader telecom sector challenges amid shifting regulatory landscapes and infrastructure modernization costs.

Analysts highlighted Crown’s exposure to 5G rollout execution risks and rising capital expenditures for aging network upgrades. As a dividend-paying REIT, the company faces pressure to maintain yields while navigating macroeconomic headwinds and competitive pressures. Long-term tenant agreements and capital efficiency remain key focus areas for sustaining growth in a volatile environment.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. • All U.S. common stocks (tens of thousands over time) – or a specific subset such as the current S&P 500 constituents? 2. “Trading volume” definition • Number of shares traded, or dollar value traded? 3. Re-balancing mechanics • Buy at the close on ranking day and sell at the close the next day (close-to-close), or open-to-close? 4. • Equal-weight across the 500 names, or weight by volume, market-cap, etc.? 5. Costs • Should we include transaction costs / slippage? If yes, what assumptions? 6. Data source preference (if any) • Our default data feed covers U.S. equities back to 1999. Let me know your preferences for the points above and I’ll build the retrieval and back-testing workflow accordingly.
