On July 30, FormFactor rose 12.52% in pre-market trading, trading at $93.88/share, with turnover of $205,300. The surge was driven by the company's second-quarter earnings report released the prior evening, which significantly exceeded market expectations.
FormFactor reported Q2 revenue of $258.2 million, well above the consensus estimate of $240 million, while 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' prior estimate of $48.5 million. The company also issued strong forward guidance.
Notably, prior to the earnings release, FormFactor had experienced a significant cumulative decline from recent highs, weighed down by sustained weakness across the semiconductor equipment sector, with peers including KLA down 8.41%, Applied Materials down 5.78%, and Lam Research down 5.07%. The beat-and-raise quarter triggered a sharp reversal, reflecting a clear recovery in market sentiment toward the stock.
