Onto Innovation Inc is a good buy right now due to its current price of $294.53, which is significantly below the average analyst price target of $400 from RBC Capital. The company's forward P/E ratio of 22.83 indicates reasonable future earnings expectations, especially considering its strong year-to-date performance of +77.57%.
