COHU COHU INC Insider Trading

COHU CFO Jeffrey D Jones sold 13,000 shares at $46.84 on 2026-05-22; company unprofitable with -$12.1M net income vs +12.7% revenue growth

Jeffrey D Jones, Sr. VP Finance & CFO of COHU INC, sold 13,000 shares (13.0K shares) representing 3.6% of his pre-transaction holdings at $46.84 per share. The sale totaled $608,920.00, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 343,792 shares (343.8K shares). This is noteworthy given the company's financial condition: while annual revenue growth reached +12.7% and the latest quarter generated $125,119,000.00 in revenue, COHU reported a net income of -$12,068,000.00 for its most recent full fiscal year, indicating operating losses despite top-line expansion. The CFO's sale at $46.84 occurred on a stock trading 4.8% below its 52-week high of $52.43, and the broader context shows the stock has gained +6.4% over the prior 30 days and +59.7% over the prior 90 days. The combination of a profitable-growth narrative (strong revenue expansion) masking underlying unprofitability, paired with an insider sale, warrants examination of whether operational challenges are intensifying.

CEO Luis A Muller sold 45,154 shares (45.2K) of COHU at $46.62; holds 927.6K shares post-sale as company faces $-12.1M net loss despite 12.7% revenue growth.

Luis A Muller, as President & CEO, sold 45,154 shares at $46.62 on 2026-05-22, reducing his position by 4.6% to 927.6K shares. The sale occurred while COHU Inc trades -4.8% from its 52-week high of $52.43, after a 90-day rally of 59.7%. The context is notable: COHU reported revenue of $125.1M with a net loss of $-12.1M in its latest quarter, and the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year despite 12.7% annual revenue growth. This disconnect between revenue expansion and persistent losses, combined with a CEO equity reduction during a strong near-term price run-up, merits attention to whether operational challenges are intensifying beneath headline growth.
