FormFactor rises as Cantor raises target to $125 on AI test demand
FormFactor shares rose after Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated an Overweight rating and lifted its price target to $125 from $100 on April 6, 2026. The call pointed to sustained AI-driven demand and an expected wafer-fab equipment spending inflection in the second half of 2026.

2) The catalyst: price-target hike tied to AI cycle durability
The updated target frames FormFactor as a beneficiary of AI-driven secular uplift, with the thesis extending beyond a single quarter and into 2026–2027 demand strength. The note also highlighted expectations for wafer-fab equipment spending to inflect in the second half of 2026, supporting a more constructive setup for probe-card and test demand. (tipranks.com)
3) Why investors care: HBM and advanced packaging remain the core narrative
FormFactor’s recent operating narrative has centered on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced packaging test intensity, which tends to increase probe-card complexity and spend. Against that backdrop, a higher target can act as a near-term trigger for incremental buying—especially when the stock is already being treated as an AI infrastructure lever by the market.
