Advanced Energy Industries Inc. is anticipating a modest decline in semiconductor revenue, which constitutes 42% of its third-quarter revenues, with expectations for Q4 followed by similar levels in Q1 before potential growth in Q2. In Q3, semiconductor revenue fell by 0.5% year-over-year, coming in at $196.6 million, which was below both company guidance and consensus estimates for that period.
