While demand for Aehr’s wafer-level test and burn-in products remained robust in Q2, the company has experienced an impact on the timing of current and new orders over the last sixty days. It now expects the delay in orders to impact its revenue for this year.
Consequently, Aehr has lowered its revenue expectations for Fiscal Year 2024 to a range of $75 million to $85 million, down from the prior estimate of $100 million. Still, the company remains optimistic about growth over the coming years and is working towards boosting its infrastructure to address future capacity needs.
