How it trades on rate days beta 0.75 to TLT · on the worst bond days it fell more than the market

How it trades on rate days

How AEHR has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.75 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Aehr Test Systems moved 0.75% on average · correlation 0.06 · higher than 74% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.79 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −2.51% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +0.04% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Aehr Test Systems

AEHR in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Aehr Test Systems builds wafer-level and package-level test and burn-in machines, running under names such as FOX-XP, FOX-NP and FOX-CP, that stabilise semiconductors before shipment. Its systems check silicon-carbide and gallium-nitride power chips, image sensors, memory, processors and photonics devices used in AI hardware. Customers are semiconductor manufacturers, contract assemblers and dedicated burn-in test houses. It is based in Fremont, California.
Where it sits in the stack
In our index, the Rubin Build-Out 100, Aehr sits in Layer 3, Assembly & Test, within the Testing & Metrology sleeve. That sleeve is the constraint that keeps yield curves honest as nodes shrink, and Aehr's burn-in step is where power and sensor chips prove they survive real operating stress before leaving the fab.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group places it with the Testing & Metrology names — Teradyne, Onto Innovation, KLA, Camtek, PDF Solutions, Cohu, Nova and Advantest — vendors whose tools and inspection gear keep yields honest at every shrink.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Aehr is a Rubin Build-Out 100 constituent and carries a Closelooknet score, strongest on momentum and weakest on quality. The diary has quoted its share moves twice in the Midday 10, both times on outsized single-session swings for a smaller semiconductor-adjacent name.
What the diary watches
