FormFactor News

FormFactor Inc.'s decision to name corporate veteran Mario Ruscev as chief executive officer should help the high-tech company recover its footing, but plenty of challenges remain, some analysts said Wednesday.

Livermore-based tech company FormFactor Inc. said Mario Ruscev has been named CEO of FormFactor, a maker of wafer probe cards that are used to test semiconductor equipment.

Verigy, the Cupertino, Calif., provider of semiconductor-testing technology, named Jorge Luis Titinger to the new post of chief operating officer.

Some stocks simply have such great potential that "everyone" knows they're a good buy today.
