What remains unresolved
- Base path
- AEHR revenue stabilizes as high-margin AI processor test orders offset legacy EV power semiconductor weakness.
- Adverse path
- A broader pause in datacenter optical transceiver deployments delays conversion of follow-on test system orders.
- Supportive path
- Rapid commercialization of co-packaged optics across hyperscalers accelerates unit demand for Aehr proprietary FOX wafer-level burn-in systems.
