On June 5, Aehr Test Systems fell 8.76% in regular trading, trading at $107.425/share, with trading volume of $13.60 million. The decline was driven by a continued broad-based selloff across the semiconductor equipment sector, marking the second consecutive session of industry-wide weakness.
At the sector level, major semiconductor equipment names posted significant losses, with KLA-Tencor down 5.02%, Lam Research down 4.98%, Applied Materials down 4.32%, ASML Holding down 3.71%, and AXT Inc down 4.48%. The sector-wide pressure substantially weighed on individual stocks.
The stock had previously surged from a low near $91.91 on May 30 to above $115, driven by a $41 million AI chip testing order catalyst. The rapid accumulation of short-term gains intensified profit-taking pressure as the broader sector pulled back over two consecutive sessions. Combined with the stock's small-cap, high-volatility characteristics, the decline was significantly amplified relative to the industry average.
