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

    Question

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

    Direct answer

    Aehr Test Systems has shifted its business model over a 24-month span, moving from heavy electric vehicle silicon carbide reliance to high-density semiconductor test equipment. AI processors and silicon photonics represent 95% of fiscal 2026 revenue. A recent $22 million follow-on contract for AI processor burn-in and test systems validates customer adoption. The transition reconfigures the company's backlog exposure toward data center optical interconnects.
