Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

AEHR receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

AEHR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-82.3%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -10.8%), negative revenue growth (-15.2%).

Financial Health Rating

AEHR's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 67.5%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is AEHR's strongest growth driver at +56.6% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-15.2%, negative) and earnings growth (-82.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 75.8% and approximately 95.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.85% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.92%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

AEHR generates approximately $353 of gross profit, $-283 of operating income, and $-108 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 39.28%

Quantitative Style Profile

AEHR has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
