* Advanced Energy delivered an upbeat presentation at the AEA conference.
* The company is achieving success with its goal of increasing its market
share. Its RF share should grow to the high 30's in 97 from 27% in 96. Mid
frequency share will be up a lot also.
* Power supplies for epitaxial deposition systems represent an important
emerging semiconductor equipment opportunity, due to the growing importance of
epitaxial layers.
* Potential opportunities include Novellus' PVD division (was using internal
Varian supply), the Tegal RF business (recently won), and TEL (work needed;
potential opportunity for new applications).
* Advanced Energy's shares have been under pressure recently, but we see
strong growth in the quarters ahead. We recommend purchase of the shares.
