FormFactor Inc. (ISIN US3463751087) closed at USD 126.01 on Nasdaq on September 22, 2026, gaining 5.62 percent and placing the stock 21.4 percent below its 52-week high of USD 160.27. The move followed a fresh analyst view and renewed attention on the semiconductor test equipment maker's second-quarter execution.

Cantor keeps USD 175 target

According to Investing.com on September 22, 2026, Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated an Overweight rating and a USD 175 price target. Against the September 22 closing price of USD 126.01, that target is USD 48.99 higher, a quantified gap of 38.9 percent.

The valuation signal is important because the same report described the shares as potentially overvalued under its Fair Value analysis, even as Cantor maintained its positive demand outlook. The contrast leaves execution and the durability of semiconductor demand as the central issues for the stock.

Second-quarter revenue grew 32 percent

FormFactor's second-quarter revenue grew 32 percent year over year, compared with a 1 percent decline in the year-ago quarter, according to Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026. The recent quarter also carried a 22 percent operating margin, while trailing-twelve-month revenue stood at USD 902.2 million.

A separate Investing.com report dated September 22, 2026, put adjusted second-quarter earnings at USD 0.82 per share and revenue at USD 258.2 million. Those figures exceeded cited expectations of USD 0.61 per share and USD 240 million, respectively, while revenue rose 14 percent from the first quarter.

Stock remains below yearly high

Market data cited on September 22, 2026, showed a 52-week range of USD 34.80 to USD 160.27, market capitalization of USD 9.3 billion and volume of 842,800 shares. The closing price therefore stood USD 91.21 above the yearly low and USD 34.26 below the yearly high.

The combination of 32 percent second-quarter revenue growth and a 22 percent operating margin provides the measurable operating backdrop for Cantor Fitzgerald's USD 175 target. The counterweight is valuation: the target implies a 38.9 percent increase from the cited close, while the stock already trades far above its 52-week low.
