On July 31, FormFactor rose 6.31% in regular trading, trading at $113.7/share, with turnover of $6.8896 million. The stock continued its post-earnings rally following the company's second-quarter results released on July 29, which significantly exceeded market expectations alongside strong forward guidance.
FormFactor reported Q2 revenue of $258.2 million, well above the consensus estimate of $240 million. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.82, beating the $0.61 estimate by 34.43% and representing a 203.7% year-over-year increase. Adjusted net income reached $65 million, substantially surpassing analyst estimates of $48.5 million. The company also issued robust forward guidance. Prior to the earnings release, FormFactor had experienced a significant pullback from highs due to broad weakness across the semiconductor equipment sector, with peers such as KLA, Applied Materials, and Lam Research all declining sharply. The strong earnings beat has driven a sustained recovery in market sentiment.
Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, peers also posted gains, with Lam Research up 5.81%, Applied Materials up 5.79%, AXT Inc up 37.65%, ASML up 1.84%, and KLA Corporation up 4.84%.
