On June 25, Advanced Energy Industries rose 5.49% in pre-market trading, trading at $379.34/share, with turnover of $75,700. The stock continues to gain momentum driven by a dual catalyst of an analyst upgrade and a corporate deleveraging event.
On the news front, BofA Securities raised its price target on Advanced Energy Industries to $450 from $430, while the consensus mean target stands at $396.50 with an average overweight rating. Additionally, the company previously announced it will redeem all remaining $136.7 million of its 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2028 on September 23 at 100% of par value plus accrued interest. This redemption effectively eliminates potential equity dilution concerns that had weighed on sentiment. Holders may convert notes at a rate of 7.2747 shares per $1,000 principal, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $137.46 per share, with cash settlement for principal and stock issuance for any excess value.
Advanced Energy Industries specializes in highly engineered power conversion, measurement, and control solutions serving semiconductor equipment, data center computing, industrial and medical, and telecom markets.
