FormFactor beats Q2 estimates with $0.82 EPS as chip demand lifts results

FormFactor reported Q2 earnings of $0.82 a share, beating the $0.62 consensus estimate by 31.9%.

Revenue at the Nasdaq-listed company rose to $258.2 million in the fiscal second quarter ended June 27, exceeding the $244.8 million average analyst projection by 5.5%. FormFactor's probe card and test socket products serve semiconductor manufacturers investing in advanced packaging and high-bandwidth memory production.

Metric	Actual	Consensus	Beat/Miss
Revenue	$258.2M	$244.8M	+5.5%
EPS	$0.82	$0.62	+$0.20

The results show sustained demand for wafer-level test equipment as chip designs grow more complex. FormFactor's products are used in the final stages of semiconductor manufacturing, a process that requires more testing with each new node generation. The company competes with Cohu Inc. and Teradyne Inc. in the semiconductor test equipment market, where capital spending cycles drive revenue. The probe card segment, FormFactor's largest business, benefits as chipmakers increase wafer starts for advanced logic and memory devices.

The company did not disclose guidance for the current quarter or provide a breakdown of revenue by segment. FormFactor also did not comment on its stock price reaction following the release. The results come as the semiconductor industry navigates a period of elevated capital expenditure driven by AI infrastructure buildouts, with chipmakers such as TSMC and Samsung increasing their spending on advanced packaging capacity.

The earnings beat positions FormFactor for continued momentum through the second half of fiscal 2026. The strong quarterly performance suggests chipmakers are maintaining capital spending plans despite broader economic uncertainty. Investors will watch the company's next quarterly report for guidance on demand trends across its foundry and logic end markets, with the semiconductor equipment sector closely tied to AI infrastructure investment cycles. FormFactor's results add to a growing body of evidence that semiconductor test spending is accelerating as chip complexity increases.
