Why Aehr Test Systems Stock Soared Today
Shares of Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) took off like a rocket on Wednesday morning, rising as much as 39.7% a few minutes after the opening bell. The stock settled down to a still-impressive 25% increase as of 2 p.m. ET. The price surge lifted Aehr's stock to fresh multi-year highs, all thanks to a new contract in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip-testing space.
One of the company's top customers just ordered several Aehr Sonoma test and burn-in systems with shipments scheduled for the summer of 2026. Aehr didn't name the "world-leading hyperscaler," but it's a "premier large-scale data center provider" that also designs high-performance AI accelerator chips.
This profile narrows the list of possible clients down to the usual hyperscaler suspects, specifically the ones who combine premium-quality hardware designs with massive cloud computing platforms. Aehr has signaled upcoming deals with this particular client for months, but this is a firm contract with real revenue attached.
