Needham & Company analyst Y. Edwin Mok reiterated a Buy rating and $31 price target on Advanced Energy Industries (NASDAQ: AEIS) saying the CFO hire removes an overhang on the stock.
Mok commented, "AEIS announced that Tom Liguori, CFO at MFLX (Buy), will join the company as CFO effective May 18. We believe this announcement removes an overhang on the stock in regards to management changes at the company. Beyond the upcoming 1Q15 earnings report, the next near-term catalyst for the stock would be an announcement of the company's exit from the solar business. While we believe investors already anticipate such a move, we see additional opportunities for AEIS to drive earnings growth with the sale of the solar inverter business. Longer term, we believe management's execution on growth initiatives in industrial markets will ultimately drive the share price to our PT of $31, with the potential for the stock to move even higher."
