Market Focus06-25

On June 25, FormFactor rose 5.36% overnight, trading at $148.99/share, with turnover of $15,500. The rally was driven by the company announcing its addition to the Russell 1000 Index effective June 29, alongside multiple investment bank upgrades.

FormFactor confirmed it will be added to the US large-cap Russell 1000 Index as part of the annual reconstitution. This inclusion means passive funds tracking the index will be required to allocate shares, potentially bringing significant incremental capital inflows. Additionally, B.Riley upgraded FormFactor from Neutral to Buy while maintaining a $165 price target, and Evercore ISI upgraded the stock to Outperform with a $155 target. Fundamentally, the company reported Q1 revenue of $230 million, with gross margin improving 5.1 percentage points sequentially to 49.0%, and raised its Q2 guidance.

Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, the broader group also traded higher. Among individual stocks, Applied Materials up 5.52%, Lam Research up 5.92%, ASML up 4.12%, KLA-Tencor up 4.23%, Teradyne up 3.51%.
