Citi analyst Atif Malik upgraded Advanced Energy Industries (AEIS) to Buy from Neutral and raised his price target for the shares to $68 from $55. The analyst is moving to a "more offensive" Semiconductor Capital Equipment stance as he believes the memory market is showing signs of recovery and that 5G logic investments are accelerating, which adds confidence to his 2020/2021 wafer-fab equipment recovery thesis. Malik's top equipment picks remain Lam Research (LRCX) and Applied Materials (AMAT). He upgraded Advanced Energy to Buy and moved MKS Instruments (MKSI) to his favorite SMID cap pick. The analyst also likes KLA-Tencor (KLAC), Teradyne (TER) and Advanced Energy on their "5G appeal."
