Aehr Test Systems shares fell 14.32% to $52.44 on Wednesday. The primary driver was a new 8-K filing disclosing the departure of certain officers and the appointment of a new director. The stock had already experienced a significant decline in the preceding week.
What Happened
Aehr Test Systems filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on October 29, 2026. The filing reported the departure of directors or certain officers and the appointment of Vijay Rao to the Board of Directors.

This order is expected to ramp in 2027. The stock opened at $55.05, representing a 10.1% gap down from the prior close of $61.21.
