With the shares close to recent analyst targets and the stock trading after strong recent returns, the key question now is whether FormFactor still offers value or if the market is already pricing in future growth.
With FormFactor last closing at US$59.19 against a narrative fair value of US$56.88, the current share price sits slightly above that framework, which hinges on specific growth, margin and valuation assumptions that go beyond recent share price strength.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $97.0 million (and earnings per share of $0.78) by about September 2028, up from $43.9 million today. The analysts are largely in agreement about this estimate.
Curious how earnings could more than double while the assumed profit margin also steps up and the P/E multiple trends lower from today’s level? The full narrative walks through the revenue path, margin reset and valuation multiple that together support the fair value, and shows how small shifts in any of those inputs could change the outcome.
Result: Fair Value of $56.88 (OVERVALUED)
