Sign InReflecting the growing integration of silicon carbide technology in the automotive industry, Aehr Test Systems announced receiving more than $8 million in new orders for its wafer-level burn-in solutions. According to reports, these orders include a significant follow-on contract from a lead production customer intended to support manufacturing capacity for new electric vehicle (EV) platforms, specifically targeting the rapidly expanding Chinese market.
This announcement comes amidst intensifying competition in the automotive semiconductor sector, as peers like Wolfspeed and ON Semiconductor continue to ramp up silicon carbide production. Compared to previous quarters, these follow-on orders for Aehr’s FOX platforms signal sustained demand for testing infrastructure essential to EV power electronics and drivetrain reliability, per market data and industry analysis.
Regarding market performance, AEHR closed at $68.02 (close July 13, 2026), having reached a session high of $71.49. Investors are now looking toward upcoming Chinese economic data, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI) release on July 9, for insights into the health of the Chinese consumer market, which remains a primary driver for the company's growth outlook.
