On August 19, Advanced Energy Industries declined 5.13% in regular trading, trading at $293.35/share, with turnover of $19.54 million. The selloff was driven by a sharp rise in borrowing costs across major developed economies, intensifying concerns over persistently elevated interest rates and pressuring high-valuation growth names.
Specifically, France's 30-year government bond yield touched 4.86%, while Germany's 10-year yield hit its highest level since 2011, with multiple sovereign borrowing costs reaching levels unseen since the 2008 financial crisis. The rate surge weighed heavily on the technology and growth sectors. Within the Electronic Equipment and Instruments industry, broad-based weakness was evident, with Unusual Machines Inc down 10.27%, Ouster Inc down 8.26%, Keysight down 5.63%, and Cognex down 3.22%.
Advanced had previously rallied significantly following a strong Q2 earnings beat—adjusted EPS of $2.74 versus the $2.21 consensus, on revenue of $574 million—along with upgrades from Morgan Stanley and Seaport Global. The current decline represents a notable pullback from those gains.
