Trading above historical range
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 $57.08, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $47.99 to $56.82. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 30.9) compared to its historical average (34.6). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 3.7% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, COHU is showing sideways momentum. The price is approaching resistance at $58.70. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation. The stock is showing strong short-term momentum, up 4.3% recently.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 41/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $70.88 (+24.2%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
