On July 30, FormFactor surged 20.37% in regular trading, trading at $103.7/share, with turnover of $40.56 million. The rally was driven by the company's Q2 earnings report released after the prior session's close, which significantly exceeded market expectations alongside strong forward guidance.
Specifically, FormFactor posted 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 analysts' estimate of $48.5 million.
Notably, prior to the earnings release, FormFactor had suffered a significant cumulative decline from its highs, weighed down by consecutive sessions of weakness across the semiconductor equipment sector, with peers including KLA, Applied Materials, and Lam Research all falling sharply. The broader sector rebounded strongly alongside FormFactor, with Lam Research up 21.14%, Applied Materials up 14.97%, Teradyne up 12.88%, KLA-Tencor up 8.52%, and ASML up 7.05%.
