AEM SGD (AWX.SI) shares surged 3.33% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the release of the company's financial results for the first nine months of 2025. The test solutions provider reported a significant turnaround, posting a profit of S$4 million for the period ending September 30, reversing the loss recorded in the same period last year.

The company's improved performance was attributed to a more favorable product mix, with higher contributions from advanced test solutions. AEM's revenue for the nine-month period rose 16% year-on-year to S$287.5 million. The strong financial results appear to have boosted investor confidence, leading to the stock's notable pre-market rally.

Looking ahead, AEM Holdings provided an optimistic outlook, stating that revenue contribution from its major AI/HPC (Artificial Intelligence/High-Performance Computing) customer is anticipated to grow significantly in FY2026. This forward-looking statement suggests potential for continued growth, which may have further fueled the stock's upward movement. The positive sentiment surrounding AEM's results and future prospects comes amid a broader context of mixed performance in the Singapore stock market, with the Straits Times Index (STI) opening slightly lower on Thursday.
