Company snapshot

FormFactor is a global provider of semiconductor test and measurement technologies that help analyze semiconductor performance throughout its life cycle. Devices that the company offers include probe cards, analytical probes, probe stations, metrology systems, thermal systems, and cryogenic systems. Core clients include semiconductor companies, research facilities, and tech manufacturers.

What this transaction means for investors

As of Feb. 21, 2026, seven different board directors and two executives have sold shares this month. And on the 18th, FormFactor announced that its board will be reshuffled, as Brewer plans to retire later this year.

This high board director activity shouldn’t concern investors, as the stock has historically performed well and is currently posting its highest gains in a single year since 2023, and it’s only February.

While it’s difficult to say exactly why the directors have been on a sale frenzy in February, one may look at this year’s historical performance and infer that the directors are simply taking profits.

The company is primed for long-term growth, as semiconductor manufacturers and the plethora of tech companies that rely on them rely heavily on its probe cards, which are critical for measuring and testing chip performance. And with the semiconductor market constantly growing, it’s no surprise the stock continues to soar.
