Director SLAYEN HOWARD T sold 25,000 shares of AEHR at $85.00 for $2.1M amid unprofitability and stock near 52-week high.
SLAYEN HOWARD T, a director, sold 25,000 shares (12.3% reduction) at $85.00 on 2026-04-17, reducing holdings from 203.3K to 178.3K shares. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $83.86 (current price at +0.0% from peak), following a dramatic 131.0% gain over 30 days and 191.1% over 90 days. Notably, across his entire open-market trade history (cross-ticker), this insider's prior trades show an average 90-day return of -26.8% with a 0.00% win rate, and at AEHR specifically, both prior buys (2023-10-11 and 2024-08-02) resulted in negative 90-day outcomes (-44.4% and -9.2%, respectively). The company's fundamentals present a headwind: AEHR reported quarterly revenue of $10.3M with a net loss of $3.2M, annual revenue declined 11.0% year-over-year, and the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The timing—a substantial reduction at near-peak valuation while the company operates at a loss—warrants investor attention, particularly given the extended rally that preceded the sale.
