Aehr Test Systems Secures Six More Sonoma Orders From Hyperscaler as Stock Soars

A follow-on purchase alongside a paid wafer-level trial signals rising demand for AI-chip testing.

Overview

  • The unnamed hyperscaler placed additional orders for six Sonoma packaged part burn-in systems, with shipments scheduled from Aehr’s Fremont, California, facility over the next two quarters.
  • Aehr said the customer is one of the world’s largest cloud providers developing its own AI processors and that the companies are already working together on future processor generations.
  • Separately, Aehr received a purchase order from a leading AI processor supplier for a wafer-level burn-in evaluation estimated to run three to six months at its California test facility.
  • The paid evaluation includes a custom WaferPak wafer contactor, development of a production wafer-level burn-in test program, and demonstrations of advanced thermal and wafer temperature management.
  • Shares of Aehr jumped roughly 33% intraday Monday with reports of gains up to 42%, and rose about 6.6% Tuesday, as investors priced in stronger demand tied to custom AI chips.
