Classic turnaround story. Similar to Auric Pacific. Change of management > divest from non-performing assets > focus on core strength > streamline operations > improved earnings. Both are net cash. The difference between Auric and AEM is Auric's bread/butter and distribution business has been consistently outstanding all along, but been dragged by poor management decisions to grow and diversify; whereas AEM is a "pure" turnaround due to their announced technology breakthrough in next generation test handlers equipment and the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry.
That being said I am not familiar with the electronics industry or AEM tech. But from a financial standpoint, it does look like their future is bright at least for the next couple of years and AEM is still quite undervalued.

AEM ($0.945) - At current level, it is considered to be one of the most undervalued company given the prospect of the company. A real technology play with a lot of upside potential. Crossing the $1.00 mark should not poise much problem for this company.

Wow seems like this stock is leading the semicon stock fever! 100%+ gain within a month? (good report notwithstanding)
Classic Pump and Dump? share price crashed 9% @ $1.82
Looks like SGX needs to look closely at share manipulation for this one.

What is the fine line between a “
classic pump and dump” and a “
multi-bagger in the making” ?

I guess different people with different attitude view things differently. Personally, I have performed my due diligence to know sufficiently about AEM. I am also comfortable with market volatility should I understand my invested companies well. The price correction is kind of similar to that of Best World, Geo Energy, Dutech, 800 Super etc. Sticking a time frame to price movements when the market is unpredictable is awkward. This is especially so as AEM is a microcap and liquidity isn't as much compared to other companies. A small amount of funds could move its share price by "a lot". I suppose we will all find out whether AEM is a "pump and dump" or "an undervalued gem" through their financial results in time to come.

True, it takes a small amount of fund to move the share price (up or down) of a microcap by “a lot”, due to the issue of low liquidity – “the direct manipulation”
But this is different to a “pump and dump scheme” whereby false or misleading statements about the company is being circulated and used to boost share price – “the indirect manipulation”
So far, have we seen any false or misleading statements being circulated and used to boost share price of AEM?

PUMP AND DUMP SCHEMES
"Pump and dump" schemes have two parts. In the first, promoters try to boost the price of a stock with false or misleading statements about the company. Once the stock price has been pumped up, fraudsters move on to the second part, where they seek to profit by selling their own holdings of the stock, dumping shares into the market.
These schemes often occur on the Internet where it is common to see messages urging readers to buy a stock quickly. Often, the promoters will claim to have "inside" information about a development that will be positive for the stock. After these fraudsters dump their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money.

I don't think a pump & dump has to just circulate false/misleading info. A syndicate could well pain such a rosy image of the co or industry that the sky is the limit is good enough. Take the lessons from the dot-com error as example where people are predicting the end of brick & mortar to ecommerce. AEM is in the semicon industry and this industry is quite cyclical. I know as I am in this industry.
