The Week

AMSC.US gained 3.72% this week, closing at $29.55. The S&P 500 rose 0.09%, so the stock outperformed by about 3.63 percentage points. It was a back-loaded week: Monday (Aug 31) opened higher but faded, Tuesday (Sep 1) dipped to a weekly low of $27.51, then Thursday (Sep 3) reclaimed the $29 handle. Friday (Sep 4) pushed to an intraday high of $29.70 and closed near that level. There was no major company catalyst, so the move read mostly as a recovery from the prior week’s pullback.

Analyst Ratings

Four brokers cover the stock, and all four rate it buy, with no hold or sell ratings. The consensus is strong buy, and the consensus target price sits at $61.75, about 109% above the current price. Individual targets range from $54 to $71, so there is still meaningful dispersion. Within electrical equipment and components, AMSC ranks 36th out of 65 companies based on analyst ratings.

The Week Ahead

Next week’s focus shifts to US macro data. On Tuesday, Sep 8, the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index lands, with a prior reading of 99.8. Thursday, Sep 10 brings a dense batch: initial jobless claims, final demand PPI, core final demand PPI, existing home sales annualised, wholesale sales and the EIA natural gas storage change. Core PPI had a prior of 0.2% against a 0.3% forecast; headline final demand PPI had a prior of 0 against a 0.4% forecast. No company-specific earnings or announcements are scheduled next week.
