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 $47.96, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $53.49 to $69.43. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 26.5) compared to its historical average (34.4). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 8.3% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, COHU is showing sideways momentum. Immediate support is located at $45.29, while resistance sits at $66.42. The stock is showing strong short-term momentum, up 3.7% recently.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 55/100 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 (+47.8%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
