What are Wall Street analysts saying about FormFactor stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about FormFactor stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "FormFactor reported strong third-quarter earnings driven by solid demand in both DRAM and Flash applications. Further, its increasing focus on Mobile SoC and Mobile DRAM probe card segments continues to be a tailwind. FormFactor remains optimistic about strong relationships with semiconductor companies, backed by the ability to serve their electrical test and measurement requirements. However, memory spending remained weak in the last reported quarter. Additionally, adverse effects of extreme pricing pressure in the semiconductor industry and long lead times remain major concerns. Notably, the stock has outperformed the industry it belongs to over a year." (11/4/2019)
- 2. Northland Securities analysts commented, "We trim our estimates moving forward as we are not seeing evidence of a robust pick up in demand. While FORM is growing market share, is well managed and executing well in a challenging environment, we believe that this is priced into the shares. We lift PT to $18 on 20x our lower CY20 estimate and lower our rating to MP. Key Points FORM Reported Solid Quarter: FORM reported non-GAAP earnings of $0.20 on $132M versus our estimate of $0.18 on $131M. GAAP gross margin was 39.7%, 120 bps above our model and down 10 bps Q/Q. A richer mix of higher margin test system revenue offset the lower volume Q/ Q. Opex was in line with our model. Balance sheet metrics were stable in the quarter. Cash and marketable securities was $159.8M up $10.8M Q/Q. Accounts receivable was $81.5M down $13.8M Q/Q as DSO dropped to 56 days or 6 days Q/Q."
