How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: COHU is currently trading at $54.37, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $47.59 to $57.45. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 29.4) compared to its historical average (35.2). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 5.8% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, COHU is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $49.41, while resistance sits at $63.53.
Market Sentiment: COHU scores 39/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $70.88 (+30.4%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
