[SINGAPORE] Shares of AEM jumped as much as 7.9 per cent on Thursday (Aug 13) after the semiconductor test-equipment maker recorded a strong first-half profit the prior day.
Its net profit of S$31 million was 10 times higher than the S$3.1 million in the first half of 2025, on the back of stronger demand for its test equipment from artificial intelligence chipmakers.
The growth was driven by the company’s fabless AI and high performance computing customer, which became its largest contributor for the half year as production ramped up, said AEM.
In response, the counter rose as high as S$10.39 on Thursday, adding S$0.76 from its Wednesday closing price. Nearly 2.4 million securities changed hands.
AEM has extended its net profit growth streak to a fourth quarter, with a third consecutive quarter of revenue growth – led by its test-cell solutions segment.
