Soft Quarter: Aehr reported Q2 revenue of $9.9 million, down 27% from last year, mainly due to lower WaferPak shipments.
Bookings Outlook: Management expects strong bookings of $60–80 million in the second half of fiscal 2026, mostly from AI processor customers.
Guidance Reinstated: Company reinstated guidance, forecasting revenue of $25–30 million for the second half of fiscal 2026.
AI Demand: Orders and forecasts for both wafer-level and packaged-part burn-in systems for AI processors are accelerating, with multiple large customers planning production ramps.
Product Expansion: Significant progress in wafer-level burn-in, packaged-part burn-in, and new high-power Sonoma systems, especially for AI and high-bandwidth memory applications.
Margin Pressure: Gross margin dropped to 29.8% from 45.3% last year, impacted by lower sales and a less favorable mix.
Cash Position: Cash ended at $31 million, up from Q1 due to ATM equity proceeds.
Future Growth: Management is optimistic about fiscal 2027, expecting significant revenue growth driven by AI and diversification beyond silicon carbide.
