• The order is tied to next-generation artificial intelligence chips destined for large-scale data centers. 
• The tools will be used to qualify and stress-test the new custom AI accelerator before it is deployed in data center environments. 
• Shipments of the systems, along with turnkey burn-in modules and chip-specific sockets, are slated for delivery in the summer of 2026.

Aehr Test Systems (AEHR) announced on Wednesday that it has received a purchase order covering several of its Sonoma ultra-high-power package-level test and burn-in systems.

The order is tied to next-generation artificial intelligence chips destined for large-scale data centers. 

Initial Production Order

The semiconductor equipment supplier said the win comes from its primary production customer and centers on burn-in testing for a more powerful AI processor designed for both training and inference workloads.

The tools will be used to qualify and stress-test the new custom AI accelerator before it is deployed in data center environments. Shipments of the systems, along with turnkey burn-in modules and chip-specific sockets, are slated for delivery in the summer of 2026.

Following the update, AEHR stock traded over 15% higher in Wednesday’s premarket. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock shifted to ‘neutral’ from ‘bearish’ territory the previous day amid ‘low’ message volume levels. 

Order Momentum

Aehr described the buyer as a major hyperscale datacenter operator. 

“This customer’s current-generation AI processor is already ramping in volume production today, and they are forecasting a very large expansion of Sonoma system purchases for that device in the second half of calendar 2026 and continuing into 2027.”

-Gayn Erickson, President and CEO, Aehr Test Systems

Erickson added that the company expects future system orders to coincide with large-scale production of the new processor, thereby increasing its installed equipment and ongoing sales with this customer.

AEHR stock has gained over 160% in the last 12 months.
