ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES INC represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 64.2/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #335 of 7,333 stocks, AEIS presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 61/100, AEIS shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 6.0% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 36.9% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 4.5% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
AEIS's value score of 61/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 154.00x, an EV/EBITDA of 130.26x, a P/B ratio of 9.18x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES INC's investment score of 38/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 27.0% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 3.2% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
AEIS shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 87/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 27.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.95 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
With a stability score of 50/100, AEIS exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.95 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 42.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
AEIS carries a short interest score of 64/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.95), elevated leverage (D/E: 42.00x). At $6.4B market cap (mid-cap), ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES INC offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
AEIS offers a modest dividend yield of 0.2%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES INC is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #335 of 7,333 overall (95th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 6.0% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 5.6% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While AEIS currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
