What Is The Market Telling Us

American Superconductor’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 62 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 28 days ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that an analyst at Clear Street upgraded the stock to 'Buy' from 'Hold' and set a new price target. 

The analyst, Tim Moore, set a price target of $50.00, which suggested significant potential upside from the stock's previous trading price. This upgrade came after the stock had experienced a steep decline in the preceding month. The positive recommendation seemed to offset a recent filing that showed Heights Capital Management had liquidated its entire position in the company. 

Adding to the positive sentiment, American Superconductor's most recent earnings report on November 5, 2025, showed an earnings-per-share figure that surpassed consensus estimates by more than 33%.

American Superconductor is up 20.2% since the beginning of the year, but at $30.71 per share, it is still trading 53.9% below its 52-week high of $66.68 from October 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of American Superconductor’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,354.
