On August 18, FormFactor fell 5.04% in pre-market trading, trading at $131.17/share, with turnover of $187,700.

The semiconductor equipment sector faced broad-based selling pressure, with major peers declining in tandem. Applied Materials fell 4.31%, Lam Research dropped 4.53%, ASML declined 3.49%, KLA Corporation lost 3.72%, and AXT Inc slid 8.23%. The sector-wide weakness dragged FormFactor lower, giving back gains from the prior session when the stock rose over 5% on continued momentum from its strong Q2 earnings and CPO sector catalysts.

For context, FormFactor reported Q2 revenue of $258.2 million, significantly beating the consensus estimate of $240 million, while adjusted EPS of $0.82 topped estimates of $0.61 by over 34%. The company also announced a strategic partnership with Keystone MicroTech and upcoming participation in investor conferences. Despite these positive fundamental developments, short-term profit-taking pressure combined with sector-wide headwinds dominated pre-market activity.
