    Aehr Test Systems Multiples Expand to 18.6x Forward Sales on $100.6M Backlog

    Question

    Aehr Test Systems Multiples Expand to 18.6x Forward Sales on $100.6M Backlog

    Direct answer

    Aehr Test Systems shares have advanced 363% year-to-date in 2026, driven by surging customer demand for wafer-level burn-in and semiconductor testing in AI hardware supply chains. The rally has elevated the company's valuation to 18.59 times forward sales, significantly above its historical median multiple of approximately 6 times sales. While Aehr's confirmed order backlog stands at $100.6 million, the premium multiple increases downside volatility in the event of customer deployment delays or test order revisions.
