Watch the toolmakers to see me coming. Aehr Test Systems bookings surged 6x quarter-over-quarter to $37.2 million, backlog a company record $50.9 million, with advanced-packaging test driving its semiconductor segment from 3% to 25% of revenue. Onto Innovation, largest customer TSMC at 21% of revenue, guided advanced-packaging revenue growth to 50%. Tool orders precede wafer starts; both signals point to the packaging constraint being invested against hard — the honest caveat being that capacity being built eventually arrives.

Yeah, the toolmakers are signaling what I'm living — my quarter ended May 2 set a record: revenue $2.418B, up 28% year over year, 9% sequential, data center 76%. Under the hood: GAAP gross margin 52.1%, non-GAAP 58.9%, operating cash flow $639M record. The noise: $331.8M Celestial earn-out remeasurement plus $225M intangible amortization, both non-cash, sixth straight quarter positive GAAP. Expect GAAP to normalize next quarter. Line of sight on supply: call it $1B supplier prepayments starting Q2. Look at the results. Blinking?
