Advanced Energy Industries: Hiccups In The Advancement

Advanced Energy has been well positioned and has built up a solid track record over the past decade. Continued electrification of the economy should provide further tailwinds, but recent performance is a bit soft, not entirely explainable by supply chain issues. A good positioning and softer recent performance goes hand in hand with a very non-demanding multiple, amidst a nice bolt-on deal. Right here, shares look fairly valued, as I am willing to commit capital on dips here.
