UPDATE: DA Davidson Downgrades Advanced Energy Industries (AEIS) to Neutral

(updated to add analyst comment)

DA Davidson analyst Thomas Diffely downgraded Advanced Energy Industries (NASDAQ: AEIS) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $55.00 (from $60.00).

The analyst comments "We are downgrading AEIS from Buy to NEUTRAL as part of our broader downgrade of the Semiconductor Capital Equipment group. Based largely on a delayed memory recovery, we are trimming AEIS's model through calendar 2020 (out year EPS falls from $4.00 to $3.50) and are using a fairly conservative 13x CY20 EPS to reflect cycle uncertainty (and the ~29% appreciation in the stock YTD). As a result, we have reduced our price target to $55 (from $60) and believe with limited upside from the current stock price the risk-reward profile is fairly balanced at this time."
