Here's Why Aehr Test Systems Stock Had a Wild Ride in the First Half of 2025

Aehr's traditional end markets are suffering from a slowdown in electric vehicle investment. The company has successfully opened up new markets that could potentially be far larger than its core silicon carbide end market. 10 stocks we like better than Aehr Test Systems › Shares in Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) slumped by 22.2% in the first half of 2025, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. That figure may surprise investors, not least because it's a long, long way from telling the whole story of a stock that declined 56% in the first three months of 2025 only to rise 77.4% in the last three months of the half-year. The fall and rise of the stock mirrors the narrative around it and its end markets. The company recently reported its full-year financial 2025 earnings. For the sake of clarity, its financial year ends on May 30. Going back to focusing on the first six months of the calendar year, Aehr started the year with most investors thinking of it as a company focused on the silicon carbide (SiC) wafer-level burn-in (WLBI) market, and with good reason, because the SiC WLBI market accounted for 90% of its sales in its financial year 2024. ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ: ON) has previously been named as a significant customer, and its sales slowdown has mirrored a broader slowdown in the SiC market, principally in the electric vehicle (EV) market. A combination of an ongoing relatively high interest rate and a correction from a previous boom in EV spending meant Aehr couldn't rely on the SiC WLBI market for growth in its financial 2025. Indeed, CEO Gayn Erickson recently outlined that SiC WLBI "made up less than 40% of our revenue this fiscal '25." As such, the story of Aehr's first three months was disappointing, as its EV end market for SiC WLBI equipment continued to weaken. The significant turnaround in the stock's fortunes in 2025 occurred in the third-quarter earnings report in April, when management announced it was expanding into new markets and was on track to generate 35% of its revenue (later confirmed) from the artificial intelligence (AI) processor burn-in market. In addition, management said it had "four customers representing over 10% of revenue, and three of these are new markets," including WLBI of gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor supply to the automotive market. Furthermore, on the fourth-quarter earnings release, Erickson said it had secured "a major hyperscaler" as a first production AI customer in the packaged part burn-in (PPBI) market. While Aehr isn't naming these significant customers, a slide deck of its customers includes names like Microsoft, Alphabet's Google, Nvidia, ON Semiconductor, and Infineon, among many others. Management believes its AI end markets are potentially 3 to 5 times larger than its traditional SiC markets, and that optimism is fueling the current stock price strength.

Supermicro (SMCI) Target Raised by Citi as AI Demand Heats Up

July 11 Shares of Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) dipped nearly 1% lower on Friday morning despite multiple analyst actions, including a price target hike from Citi. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with SMCI. Citi lifted its price target on SMCI to $52 from $37 while keeping a Neutral rating. The brokerage cited growing enterprise and sovereign demand for AI-focused infrastructure and noted the company's ongoing efforts to meet its near-term delivery goals. The updated valuation reflects a shift to a 13.5x earnings multiple from the prior 9x to 10x range. The analysts flagged a broader ramp-up in Supermicro's GB200 and GB300 products that began in May. While AI and server market tailwinds persist, Citi warned that intensifying competition from Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) could pressure profit margins. Separately, Mizuho also raised its price target to $47 and reiterated a Neutral stance, citing robust cloud and AI server orders. Meanwhile, KeyBanc initiated coverage with a Sector Weight rating, noting the competitive dynamics in the space. Earlier this week, SMCI priced $2 billion in convertible senior notes due 2030, with a $300 million greenshoe option. Proceeds will support general corporate purposes and growth plans. The company also received immersion cooling certification for its BigTwin server from Intel (NASDAQ:INTC). Investors remain cautious ahead of SMCI's earnings report expected in early August.

Could Buying O'Reilly Automotive Stock Today Set You Up for Life?

One of the best traits of O'Reilly's business is that it faces durable demand from customers, regardless of macro conditions. The company generates sizable profits, which management uses to aggressively repurchase shares. Despite a seemingly high valuation, the stock has historically been a huge winner. 10 stocks we like better than O'Reilly Automotive › O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY) has done nothing but take care of its shareholders. Investors have absolutely nothing to complain about with this retail stock, which has soared 502% in the past decade and 57,620% since the initial public offering in 1993 (as of July 9). Those shareholders who got in early and held on have been rewarded. But if you buy O'Reilly stock today, will it set you up for life? There's a reason why O'Reilly's stock performance has been so magnificent. It's because this is a high-quality business. No one will deny that statement. For starters, O'Reilly benefits from durable demand trends. A lot of industries see their sales and profits move up and down with the flow of the economy. This isn't the case here. People need their cars to work, regardless of whether we're in a recession or a robust economy. That means that O'Reilly sees consistent spending on the part of customers. It also helps the company that there is an aging vehicle fleet. Data from S&P Global shows that the average age of vehicles was 12.8 years in the U.S. in 2025. That's up from 11.5 years a decade ago. Cars are being used and lasting longer, which naturally increases the wear and tear that's place on them outside of the original manufacturer's warranty. This is what supports demand for the aftermarket auto parts that O'Reilly's 6,416 stores provide. In 2024, the business posted 5.7% year-over-year revenue growth. Consensus analyst estimates call for the top line to jump by 5.4% this year. And the gains should continue. The industry is highly fragmented, giving O'Reilly an advantage in terms of brand visibility, physical reach with its store footprint, and inventory availability compared to smaller rivals. O'Reilly's operating margin has averaged a stellar 19.9% in the past decade. And the management team has been a wonderful steward of any excess cash produced. After plowing capital back into the business to open new stores or bolster distribution capabilities, management directs money to stock buybacks. Just in the last 12 months, O'Reilly's outstanding share count was reduced by 3%. This continues a long-running trend of a shrinking share count, which boosts earnings per share. Every investor wants to find a prized stock. The dollar figure is different for everyone, but in my view, setting someone up for life certainly means achieving a monster return over decades. Who wouldn't want this kind of outcome? However, investors shouldn't bank on any individual business having such a monumental impact. Building a diversified portfolio of at least 25 stocks is the best thing to do. Some companies will turn out to be massive winners, which is what O'Reilly has been, while others will be flops. That's just how the economy and stock market work. O'Reilly undoubtedly has favorable investment qualities, as mentioned above. But the valuation is steep, which is something I've been concerned about for a while. As of July 9, shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of 34. Besides earlier this year, the stock hasn't been this expensive since 2000. The market remains bullish about this business. Despite my valuation worries, shares have continued to march higher. While I think there's no margin of safety for prospective buyers today, I still wouldn't be surprised if the stock can somehow keep beating the market over the next five or 10 years. Investors have to think for themselves how highly they rank valuation in the decision-making process. But given its scale these days, and the mature nature of the industry, O'Reilly stock isn't going to set anyone up for life. That's just not a realistic perspective to have.
