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

    Question

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

    Direct answer

    Aehr Test Systems has shifted its business away from automotive silicon carbide test equipment, which previously constituted more than 95% of revenue. In fiscal 2026, AI processor and silicon photonics applications account for nearly 95% of total sales. The company backed this transition with a $22 million follow-on order for AI processor test systems secured in August, positioning its wafer-level test platforms within next-generation optical transceiver and accelerator manufacturing lines.
