Stifel analysts have adjusted their financial outlook for Advanced Energy, reducing the price target to $130 from $135 while maintaining a Buy rating. This adjustment follows the company’s recent earnings report and guidance for the second quarter, which surpassed market expectations. Advanced Energy anticipates continued growth in the semiconductor and data center markets, with expectations of a recovery in the industrial and medical sectors. The company also projects revenue between $400 million and $440 million for the second quarter, with a gross margin of approximately 38%.
Stifel’s analysis suggests that Advanced Energy is well-positioned to gain market share, driven by the adoption of its novel plasma power products. Despite the adjustment in the price target due to a broader decline in technology sector valuations, Stifel reaffirms its positive stance on Advanced Energy’s stock. The company’s strategic initiatives, including factory consolidation and new product introductions, are expected to bolster future margins and support growth in key markets.
