Aehr Test Systems (AEHR) has received additional orders from a leading hyperscaler for its high-power testing systems to support the production of advanced AI processors. The new systems are crucial for mass production testing and deliveries are scheduled across the next two quarters. The AI chip market is projected to grow from over $60 billion in 2023 to more than $600 billion by 2032. AEHR's position in the AI semiconductor market is strengthened by its robust lineup of reliability test and burn-in solutions.

Aehr Test Systems (AEHR), a semiconductor testing equipment manufacturer, has received additional orders from a leading hyperscaler for its high-power testing systems to support the production of advanced AI processors. The new systems are crucial for mass production testing and deliveries are scheduled across the next two quarters. This follows a previous order from the same customer, indicating accelerating demand in the AI semiconductor testing market.

The order reflects the hyperscaler's plans to expand its capacity for AI devices over the next year, providing a significant growth pathway for Aehr. The Sonoma test systems feature a streamlined architecture that delivers more watts per square foot compared to other systems, individual dynamic heating and cooling per device, and precision power delivery for burn-in conditions.

The AI chip market, valued at over $60 billion in 2023, is projected to grow significantly in the coming years, reaching $600 billion by 2032 at a 30% CAGR [1]. Aehr's Sonoma systems are designed to streamline burn-in and reliability testing directly in package form, providing a cost-effective solution for transitioning from reliability characterization to full production burn-in.

Aehr's financials were disappointing over its past fiscal year, with revenue down about 10% and a small loss per share. However, the company's stock price rose in aftermarket trading following the new orders, indicating investor optimism about its strategic initiatives. Despite a decline in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and a net loss of $2.9 million, Aehr Test Systems has demonstrated resilience with these follow-on orders.

The AI chip market is projected to surpass $600 billion by 2032, driven by data centers, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. Aehr's Sonoma systems are designed to streamline burn-in and reliability testing directly in package form, providing a cost-effective solution for transitioning from reliability characterization to full production burn-in.
