Aehr stock surges amid multiple catalysts
Tech stocks are enjoying bullish momentum today thanks to investors betting that a ceasefire could soon be reached in the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran. Over the week, President Donald Trump said that key Iranian infrastructure would be destroyed if the country's government does not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday night. Earlier today, Trump suggested that negotiations were proceeding with Iranian officials.
In addition to bullish momentum for the broader market, Aehr stock is likely also getting a continued valuation boost from the company's latest contract win. The company published a press release on March 31 announcing that it had landed a contract from a new customer for multiple testing and burn-in systems, and Aehr's share price has seen big gains in subsequent trading.
Notably, Aehr will also be publishing results for the third-quarter of its current fiscal year after the market closes tomorrow. Investors may be buying up the stock in anticipation of a strong earnings report.
What's next for Aehr?
With its last update, Aehr said that it expected sales between $25 million and $30 million in the second half of its current fiscal year and a non-GAAP (adjusted) loss per share between $0.05 and $0.09. Management also said that some customer forecast data suggested that the company was on track to record between $60 million and $80 million in bookings in the second half. Aehr's surging stock price today suggests that investors are expecting a strongly bullish report tomorrow, but the big gains could also set the stage for a substantial valuation pullback if results come in softer than anticipated.
