FormFactor (FORM) shares fell 11.65% following Q3 2026 earnings despite beating expectations, as weak Q4 guidance and manufacturing capacity constraints raised profitability concerns. The company expects Q4 revenues of $285M with EPS declining 8.7% sequentially. However, analysts view the dip as a buying opportunity given strong long-term demand for AI semiconductor testing and the upcoming Farmers Branch facility expansion targeting $400M annual capacity by 2027.
