Advanced Energy Industries: The Acquisition Roll-Up Strategy—Can AE Consolidate Fragmented Industrial Power Markets?

Advanced Energy Industries Inc. recently reported financial results for the third quarter of 2025, demonstrating strong performance across multiple markets. The company’s total revenue rose by 24% compared to the previous year, driven primarily by a remarkable surge in data center revenue, which more than doubled year-on-year. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth. Advanced Energy’s gross margin also saw an improvement, with operational efficiencies resulting from the closure of its China factory and effective cost management playing a significant role. The diversification strategy that Advanced Energy has implemented across its portfolio is yielding positive results. By leveraging its power technology expertise across various high-end markets, the company is experiencing more consistent profits and cash flow, which enabled sustained investment in new technology, infrastructure, and production capacity during the quarter.
