Here's Why Aehr Test Systems Stock Had a Wild Ride in the First Half of 2025
The Motley Fool· 2025-07-12 22:43
Core Insights - Aehr Test Systems experienced significant stock volatility in 2025, with a 22.2% decline in the first half, following a 56% drop in the first quarter and a subsequent 77.4% rise in the last quarter of the half-year [1][2]. Financial Performance - The company's financial year ends on May 30, and for the fiscal year 2024, the silicon carbide (SiC) wafer-level burn-in (WLBI) market accounted for 90% of its sales [2]. - In fiscal year 2025, SiC WLBI revenue dropped to less than 40% of total revenue, indicating a significant shift in the company's revenue sources [4]. Market Dynamics - ON Semiconductor, a key customer, has faced a sales slowdown, reflecting a broader downturn in the SiC market, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, influenced by high interest rates and a correction from previous EV spending booms [3]. - The weakening EV market negatively impacted Aehr's growth prospects in the SiC WLBI market during the first three months of fiscal 2025 [4]. Strategic Developments - A turnaround in Aehr's stock occurred after the third-quarter earnings report in April, where management announced plans to expand into new markets, projecting that 35% of revenue would come from the artificial intelligence (AI) processor burn-in market [5]. - The company has secured four customers contributing over 10% of revenue, with three of these being in new markets, including gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor supply for the automotive sector [5]. Customer Base and Future Outlook - Aehr has identified a major hyperscaler as a first production AI customer in the packaged part burn-in (PPBI) market, with notable customers including Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, ON Semiconductor, and Infineon [7]. - Management believes that AI end markets could be 3 to 5 times larger than traditional SiC markets, which is driving optimism and strength in the current stock price [8].

MSNBC· 2025-07-12 22:30
Joining me now, we have Megan Hayes, former special assistant to President Biden and former director of message planning for the Biden administration. So, Democrats have high hopes for the midterm elections, especially with what they see as ammunition from this big policy bill. Senator Chuck Schumer are saying that it boosted Democrats chances of taking back the Senate.So, what is the message they need to focus on.
