Advanced Energy Executive Offloads Shares

Bernard Raymond Colpitts Jr., SVP and Chief Accounting Officer at Advanced Energy Industries, executed a planned sale of company stock on November 18, 2025. The transaction, made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, involved the sale of 2,407 shares at $196.82 apiece.

This wasn’t a reactive move. It was a scheduled action based on a plan Colpitts adopted back in August 2025—a common way for company insiders to manage equity without breaching compliance protocols. With the sale, Colpitts cleared just under $474,000.

Even after the trade, Colpitts remains connected to Advanced Energy’s future. He holds 1,647 unvested restricted stock units. These RSUs are typically awarded as part of long-term incentive plans and are subject to vesting over time.

The company, which trades under the ticker AEIS, builds precision power conversion technologies for semiconductor and industrial markets. As a senior officer, Colpitts’ equity activity is disclosed as part of the company’s transparency obligations.

This transaction reflects a standard cadence in how executives handle personal holdings—aligning liquidity needs with regulatory guardrails. With a plan in place and compliance checked, the sale proceeded as intended.
