Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR) shares jumped 30% after the semiconductor test and burn-in equipment provider reported fiscal fourth-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations and provided a stronger-than-anticipated revenue outlook for fiscal 2027.
The company posted adjusted earnings of $0.11 per diluted share for the quarter ended May 29, 2026, compared with analyst expectations for a loss of $0.01 per share. Revenue came in at $18.8 million, ahead of consensus estimates of $17.9 million and up from $14.1 million in the year-ago period.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation and acquisition-related adjustments, was $3.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, a year earlier.
The company also reported record quarterly bookings of $60.7 million, contributing to backlog of $80.6 million as of May 29. Including bookings received after the quarter-end, Aehr’s effective backlog stood at approximately $100.6 million.

“We are very pleased with our fiscal fourth quarter performance, which exceeded expectations and capped a year of significant bookings and revenue diversification for Aehr,” Aehr CEO Gayn Erickson said in a statement.
“Record quarterly bookings, a very strong backlog, and growing demand across AI processors, silicon photonics, and power semiconductors for our wafer-level and package-level burn-in solutions position us well for significant growth moving forward.”
For fiscal 2027, management forecast revenue of between $130 million and $150 million, significantly above analyst expectations of roughly $85 million.
