“U.S. electric utility NextEra Energy and U.S. communications company American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) were the largest detractors. American Tower is a leading independent owner, operator and developer of wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure. The company has 41,000 sites in the U.S. and a further 139,000 sites across 19 countries, predominantly in emerging markets (75,000 in India, 40,000 in Latin America and 18,000 in Africa). Shares underperformed as commentary suggested that the pace of 5G rollout was slowing. Additionally, the company faces headwinds from unfavorable moves in interest and FX rates.”
