SweetBunFactory Prelude I initiated coverage of Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR) in December 2023 with a Strong Buy rating, which has shaped up to be one of my worst recommendations since joining Seeking Alpha. For a primer on Aehr's business and competitive advantage, I suggest reading that article. In short, Aehr provides semiconductor test systems that test entire wafers instead of specific chips. They also have a unique Contactor product, similar to a probe card, that can be automated with the Aligne ...

With patience, undervalued semiconductor stocks could easily race to higher highs.Just look at Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), for example. Since the start of 2023, the tech giant ran from a low of about $150 to a high of $974. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) ran from about $110 to $227. And now — surprise, surprise — they’re pulling back on stretched valuations, and as ridiculous bouts of greed give way to fear. At the same time, I don’t expect the pullbacks to last long at all. With growing, explosive demand fo ...

Fifteen bucks won’t go too far these days – unless you want to invest in these under-$15 stocks to buy.Inflation growth may be falling, which obscures the real fact that pricing today for goods and services remains higher than just two years ago. That’s an obvious fact since inflation is measured as a function of continued growth rather than real pricing differences. This is one of the multiple reasons that consumer confidence remains low despite “good” inflation stats.At the same time, high-flying tech sto ...

Small-cap stocks haven’t quite caught up to wider investor sentiment, but that trend is set to change. While large- and mega-caps like those within the S&P 500 survived and, in many cases, thrived, over the past year, small-cap indices like the S&P 600 underperformed.While factors pushing large-cap growth over small-cap success are complex, recent developments point to an imminent sea change. Specifically, inflation indicators point to slowing trends, which could accelerate rate-cut timelines. If rate cuts ...

Interest rate cuts appear imminent in the coming months, though likely not as soon as March. However, I believe cuts could materialize in the second quarter or sometime thereafter. Regardless of the exact timing, consensus holds that rates will fall at some point this year. As details on the pace and scale of cuts emerge, investors can position themselves accordingly by looking into these rate cut stocks.In my view, one smart approach is to buy stocks in companies hampered by high rates, but poised to thriv ...

The recent downturn in EV stocks has left many investors feeling gloomy about the future of electric vehicles. With high interest rates, inflation and insurance costs dampening customer demand, EV sales have hit the skids. Several once high-flying EV makers have seen their stocks nosedive in recent months as a result.However, I believe the weakness in EV stocks presents a golden buying opportunity. Yes, headwinds persist in the form of high rates and production bottlenecks. But let’s not lose sight of the l ...

Comezora/Moment via Getty Images Today, I aim to highlight the opportunity set for Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR) after the company's weak share price performance since late last year. Data by YCharts I have previously written an in-depth article on AEHR that can be found here, highlighting the SiC opportunity, the AEHR differentiation factor, its key products and customers. As such, I will not be repeating those points in this article. The risk/reward opportunity looks way more attractive today than it di ...

The electric vehicle (EV) market may be heading toward a slump in 2024. During Tesla’s Q4 earnings call, CEO Elon Musk warned the famed EV maker could experience slower growth in 2024. Although Elon Musk is not the only industry expert to warn of a potential slowdown, that doesn’t mean investors should not actively be looking for EV stocks to put on their must-watch list. Supportive government policies, technological advances and changes to consumer preferences will continue supporting demand for EVs in the ...
