On August 7, FormFactor rose 5.3% in pre-market trading, trading at $120.02/share, with turnover of $397,900. The stock continues to rally following the release of second-quarter earnings on July 29 that significantly exceeded market expectations, accompanied by 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 analyst estimate of $0.61 by 34.43% and representing a 203.7% year-over-year increase.

The combination of top- and bottom-line beats along with robust guidance has fueled sustained buying interest in the stock over several sessions since the earnings release.
