I added to $AEHR today as well. Here's my thesis why:
The growth inflection:
FY2027 revenue guided to $130–150M vs. FY2026's $50M — 160–200% growth
Guidance carries an 18–22% pre-tax margin, so this is profitable growth, not revenue bought with margin
Demand is contracted, not hoped for:
Record Q4 bookings of $60.7M, up ~500% YoY
Effective backlog of $100.6M — covering ~72% of the FY27 guidance midpoint
The end-market pivot is the real story
~95% of revenue now from AI processors, silicon photonics and power semis — versus 95% EV silicon carbide two years ago
AI expected to be ~70% of FY2027 revenue, silicon photonics ~15%
Valuation is the main pushback: ~21x guided FY27 sales at recent prices, and one bear case puts it at 59x forward FY2028 profit. I expect lumpy prints, not a smooth ramp but firmly believe this will be a large company in 2028!
