Strong share price run-up and valuation gap

In the same assessment, GuruFocus assigns FormFactor a GF Score of 70 out of 100, with sub-scores of 10 for financial strength, 7 for profitability, 8 for growth, 1 for valuation and 3 for momentum, underscoring that the stock screens as above-average quality but significantly overvalued relative to its GF Value benchmark.
Analyst targets frame upside expectations

Market performance and investor perspective
