    Aehr Test Systems Shifts 95% of FY26 Revenue to AI Processors and Photonics

    Question

    Aehr Test Systems Shifts 95% of FY26 Revenue to AI Processors and Photonics

    Direct answer

    Aehr Test Systems has shifted its business model from automotive silicon carbide test equipment to advanced AI logic and optical interconnect testing, with AI processors and silicon photonics representing ~95% of fiscal 2026 revenue. The pivot was reinforced by a $22 million follow-on test system order for AI processors, highlighting supplier demand for wafer-level burn-in solutions as die sizes and thermal design power rise. The development reflects how semiconductor supply chain vendors are capturing value from advanced packaging and photonics transitions required by leading chipmakers.
