    Aehr Test Systems Amasses $100.6M Backlog as Multiple Reaches 18.6x Sales

    Question

    Aehr Test Systems Amasses $100.6M Backlog as Multiple Reaches 18.6x Sales

    Direct answer

    Aehr Test Systems has experienced rapid equity appreciation in 2026, gaining 363% as demand for wafer-level testing of AI accelerators and silicon carbide power semiconductors accelerated. The firm carries an order backlog of $100.6 million. However, the multiple expansion has taken the company's valuation to 18.59x forward sales, representing more than three times its long-term median and reducing tolerance for delivery deferrals or chip design cycle shifts.
