ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information and Dividends
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “AEIS.” On January 31, 2025, the number of common stockholders of record was 196. This does not include stockholders whose shares are held in “street name” through brokers or other nominees.
In each of the four quarters in 2024, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per share, totaling $15.4 million for the full year. We currently anticipate that a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future cash dividend is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions, and other factors .
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer
To repurchase shares of our common stock, we periodically enter into share repurchase agreements, open market transactions, and/or other transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Before repurchasing our shares, we consider the market price of our common stock, the nature of other investment opportunities, available liquidity, cash flows from operations, general business and economic conditions, and other relevant factors.
We did not repurchase any shares during the fourth quarter of 2024. At December 31, 2024, the remaining amount authorized by our Board for future share repurchases was $197.4 million with no time limitation.
