Risks for ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES INC (AEIS)

Here are some interesting risks from the recent filings of ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES INC. Our algorithms work hard to highlight risks unique to this company.

We conduct manufacturing at only a few sites and our sites are not generally interchangeable.

Raw material, part, component, and subassembly shortages, exacerbated by our dependence on sole and limited source suppliers, could affect our ability to manufacture products and systems and could delay our shipments.

Our orders of raw materials, parts, components, and subassemblies are based on demand forecasts.

We have historically made acquisitions and divestitures. However, we may not find suitable acquisition candidates in the future and we may not be able to successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses. In either an acquisition or a divestiture, we may be required to make fundamental changes in our ERP, business processes and tools which could disrupt our core business and harm our financial condition.

Our operations in the People’s Republic of China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties over which we have little or no control and we may be unable to alter our business practice in time to avoid reductions in revenues.
