Wednesday (2026-09-23) pulled back to $13.18, Thursday (2026-09-24) dipped to the weekly low of $12.454 and rebounded to $13.36, and Friday (2026-09-25) consolidated at $13.29.

The Week

Key Events

Two company-specific items shaped the week. On Wednesday 2026-09-23, reports noted Aeluma’s bet on AI datacom while losses continued to deepen. On Thursday 2026-09-24, CEO Jonathan Klamkin disclosed the disposal of 100,000 shares for $1.34 million, implying an average price near $13.4, close to the week’s later trading levels. A few sector-wide pieces on physical moats, edge computing and digital-asset expansion circulated earlier in the week, one of which highlighted restructuring at Diageo, but they did not address Aeluma’s operations directly.

Analyst Ratings

Two brokers currently cover Aeluma, with a consensus rating of strong buy. Both rate the stock buy; there are no hold, underweight or sell ratings. The consensus target price is $23.5, implying about 76.82% upside from the latest close of $13.29; the target range of $22-$25 shows limited dispersion. Within the semiconductor materials and equipment industry, Aeluma ranks 29th out of 31 names, with coverage below the industry median.

The Week Ahead

Next week’s macro calendar includes the Dallas Fed manufacturing business activity index on 2026-09-28 (Monday), followed on 2026-09-29 (Tuesday) by FHFA house prices, Case Shiller 20-city home prices, JOLTS job openings and the consumer confidence index. These have no direct read-through to Aeluma, but they can set the risk backdrop for semiconductor materials and equipment. No company earnings or major events are scheduled.

In Short

Aeluma outperformed this week, with a strong-buy consensus and a target well above spot, but the valuation is stretched on a loss-making basis: PE is negative and PB is 4.5x. The latest session showed net selling across order sizes, and the CEO’s disposal added supply within the week. The next signposts are order follow-through in AI datacom and whether the pace of widening losses slows.
