INVESTOR ALERT: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Aehr Test Systems, Inc. (AEHR) Investors
BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 6, 2024--
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Aehr Test Systems, Inc. (“Aehr” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AEHR ) securities between January 9, 2024 and March 24, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Aehr investors have until February 3, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Aehr investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On March 25, 2024, Aehr released its preliminary third quarter fiscal 2024 financial results, revealing that the Company expected revenue to be approximately $7.6 million, significantly missing consensus estimates of $14.3 million, citing delays in wafer level burn-in system orders for semiconductor devices used in electric vehicles that created a short-term gap in revenue and profitability. Further, the Company lowered its 2024 revenue forecast by approximately $15 million.
On this news, Aehr’s stock price fell $3.29, or 22.4%, to close at $11.37 per share on March 25, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) contrary to prior representations to investors, Aehr was continuing to experience substantial delays in customer orders; (2) the foregoing issue was likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s revenue growth; (3) accordingly, the Company’s business and/or financial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased Aehr securities, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020, by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com, or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.
