3 additional sources confirmed this story

Aberdeen Group plc expanded its investment portfolio during the fourth quarter by increasing its positions in Public Service Enterprise Group (PEG) and Crown Castle Inc. (CCI). The firm raised its stake in PEG by 2.7%, bringing its total holding to 1,149,494 shares, following PEG's strong quarterly earnings of $0.72 per share and a dividend hike. Simultaneously, Aberdeen significantly boosted its investment in Crown Castle by 13.9%, with the stake now valued at approximately $93.55 million. However, the move into Crown Castle comes amid analyst scrutiny regarding dividend sustainability, given the company's exceptionally high payout ratio of 420.79%. These adjustments reflect a broader institutional rebalancing strategy, despite the diverging fundamental outlooks for the two companies. Markets remain focused on whether Crown Castle can maintain its dividend levels under current financial pressures.
