On September 23, FormFactor rose 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $125.4/share, with turnover of approximately $61.53 million. The rally was driven by broad-based strength across the semiconductor equipment sector, compounded by sustained momentum from the silicon photonics opportunity.

The semiconductor equipment sector continued its upward trajectory, with peer stocks posting notable gains: Teradyne up 3.92%, Lam Research up 2.24%, ASML Holding up 2.0%, KLA Corporation up 1.7%, and Applied Materials up 1.51%. FormFactor outperformed the broader group, reflecting company-specific catalysts layered on top of sector tailwinds.

On the news front, Samsung Electronics has selected FormFactor's probe stations for its silicon photonics technology R&D program, making FormFactor a shared test equipment supplier alongside TSMC in this emerging domain. The silicon photonics track, which integrates optical components onto semiconductor chips, represents a growing incremental demand driver for the company's probe card and systems business, reinforcing forward revenue expectations.
