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 $73.48, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $48.21 to $64.54. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 39.8) compared to its historical average (34.5). At these levels, the market is pricing in 4.9% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, COHU is showing sideways momentum. The price is approaching resistance at $74.69. 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 4.5% recently.
Market Sentiment: COHU scores 15/100 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. Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
