Company News
Have you overlooked Nvidia and Micron Technology? This high-potential semiconductor stock may surge in the coming years. Table of Contents Key points. * Semiconductor manufacturers are engaging in an expansive race to enhance production capabilities to satisfy the demands of artificial intelligence (AI) clientele. * This growth surge is proving advantageous for downstream equipment producers such as Cohu, renowned for its advanced testing, handling, and inspection machinery developed specifically for state-of-the-art AI chips. * Cohu's revenue trajectory is rapidly accelerating, with a burgeoning sales pipeline poised to bolster its financial outcomes further. Investors eager to capitalize on the burgeoning spending on AI data centers are flocking to companies like Nvidia and Micron Technology. Their appeal is evident; after all, Nvidia's shares have surged by 900% over the last five years, while Micron has astonishingly increased by 1,300%. Nevertheless, the most substantial future returns may well emanate from suppliers of semiconductor equipment and components. Enter Cohu (NASDAQ: COHU). This firm provides essential testing and handling machinery pivotal in quality assurance, ensuring that chips meet standards and are devoid of defects prior to dispatch. At the close of trading on Friday, September 25, Cohu's market capitalization stood at a mere $3.2 billion. However, indications suggest strong prospects for an uptick in value in the forthcoming years. Missed Nvidia in 2009? A Rare Signal Is Illuminating Again. The "Double Down" signal for a relatively obscure chipmaker, Nvidia, emerged in 2009. Today, an analogous "Total Conviction" signal is visible for a company 1/100th Nvidia's size. Cohu is rapidly increasing its production capacity. Cohu supplies equipment to some of the leading semiconductor fabrication companies globally, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Intel, and Samsung. The potential of AI could herald one of the company's most lucrative opportunities, particularly through its Eclipse and Neon product lines. The Eclipse platform is designed to handle critical data center chips integral to AI workflows, encompassing graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). This machinery autonomously retrieves completed semiconductors immediately post-production and places them in test sockets that mimic real-world conditions to ascertain their operational efficacy. The automation inherent in this testing is paramount, as human intervention would considerably impede the production flow. The Neon inspection and metrology platform, conversely, scrutinizes the physical integrity of memory chips. Employing AI software and infrared vision, it discerns minuscule cracks and defects in semiconductor wafers, safeguarding against the shipment of flawed chips. Neon possesses the capability to detect irregularities as diminutive as 1 micron - imperceptible to the naked eye. To provide perspective, a human hair is approximately 70 microns wide. The demand for both product lines is experiencing a meteoric rise, propelled by the AI explosion. Cohu is diligently working to augment its production capacity at its flagship plants in Malaysia, targeting a doubling by the end of 2026, with plans for further increases in 2027. Accelerating revenue growth. Wall Street analysts estimate, as cited by Yahoo! Finance, that Cohu's total revenue is poised for a 35% growth trajectory, reaching $612 million by 2026. This marks a significant acceleration compared to the company's 13% growth rate in 2025, underscoring the robustness of the AI-induced uplift. Moreover, Cohu's future performance may further improve, bolstered by a $850 million sales pipeline originating from what it designates as the high-performance computing segment, primarily comprising clients in the AI semiconductor manufacturing realm. Noteworthy is that this pipeline, previously valued at $750 million earlier in the year, continues to expand. None of this revenue has yet manifested in Cohu's financial records, as customers remain in the preliminary engagement and qualification stages of the sales process. Thus, shareholders can anticipate a significant revenue spike for the company in the foreseeable future. Cohu stock may not be cheap, but upside potential remains. Cohu's stock has already surged by an impressive 188% this year. However, investors with a long-term perspective of at least five years could still realize substantial gains. Cohu presents a rather complex valuation challenge, as it does not consistently generate profits, which can render it seemingly expensive on the surface. Analysts project that Cohu will deliver adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings of $0.95 per share by 2026, resulting in a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 70.5. For context, Nvidia currently boasts a P/E ratio of merely 28.4. Nevertheless, projections suggest Cohu's adjusted earnings could nearly double to $1.85 per share in 2027, resulting in a considerably more attractive forward P/E of 36.2. While it may not necessarily represent a bargain at that valuation, the expected growth trajectory of the company's earnings could underpin additional upside for its stock, particularly should equally optimistic forecasts for 2028 and 2029 emerge, bolstered by the substantial - and expanding - sales pipeline previously cited. For investors exploring opportunities within the AI infrastructure domain beyond mainstream stocks like Nvidia and Micron, considering Cohu as a portfolio addition could be prudent. Should you invest in Cohu stock now? Before investing in Cohu, reflect on the following: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team recently identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now... and Cohu was not included among them. The selected stocks are projected to yield extraordinary returns in the coming years. Consider the historical context: when Netflix was featured on this list on December 17, 2004, a $1,000 investment at that time would have burgeoned to $379,123*! Similarly, Nvidia, which made the list on April 15, 2005, would have transformed a $1,000 investment into $1,396,103!* Presenting a noteworthy highlight, Stock Advisor's total average return stands at an impressive 933%, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 212% return.
Aehr Test Systems and Cohu both operate in semiconductor testing but pursue different strategies. Aehr, with a $2.6 billion market cap, focuses on wafer-level and burn-in test solutions, whilst Cohu offers broader test and handling equipment. Nearly 95% of Aehr's fiscal 2026 revenues came from markets outside silicon carbide for electric vehicles. AI accelerators, CPUs and network processors accounted for about 71% of annual revenues, with silicon photonics contributing another 20%. In August 2026, Aehr received a $22 million follow-on production order from its lead AI processor customer for multiple fully automated FOX-XP wafer-level burn-in systems, FOX WaferPak contactors and Auto Aligners. The company is expanding into power semiconductors and memory applications, including NAND and HBM-related applications.
Cohu reported 38% year-over-year sales growth in Q2 2026, driven by strong demand for advanced thermal test handlers for AI processors and high-bandwidth memory inspection. The semiconductor test equipment maker raised its full-year revenue growth outlook to approximately 35%, implying revenues of $610 million to $615 million. Computing system orders surged 150% year-over-year, powered by the Eclipse handler's adoption in high-performance computing. The company increased its HPC revenue estimate to between $100 million and $110 million for fiscal 2026, with Q4 capacity largely committed. Cohu is expanding manufacturing capacity in Malaysia to increase HPC handler output by 50% by year-end 2026 and double it by mid-2027. The company projects Q3 revenue of approximately $170 million. Recurring revenue reached 53% of total sales. However, the automotive segment remains weak, with utilisation not expected to reach 80% until late Q1 or Q2 2027.
Cohu Q2 earnings call highlights. July 30, 2026 Key points. * Cohu's Q2 revenue rose 38% year over year to $149 million, exceeding the guidance midpoint, while non-GAAP gross margin reached 45.5% and EPS was $0.26. Management forecast Q3 revenue of approximately $170 million and raised its full-year 2026 growth outlook to about 35%, or roughly $610 million-$615 million. * High-performance computing demand accelerated sharply: computing orders increased 150% year over year, and Cohu raised its 2026 HPC revenue estimate to $100 million-$110 million. The company's HPC customer pipeline expanded to approximately $850 million, led by Eclipse handler opportunities. * Cohu is expanding manufacturing capacity in Malaysia and through suppliers, targeting a 50% increase in HPC handler output over the next six months and more than double the output by mid-2027. Automotive remains the weakest major market, with utilization not expected to reach 80% until late Q1 or Q2 2027. * MarketBeat previews top five stocks to own in August. Cohu NASDAQ: COHU reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $149 million, up 38% from a year earlier and above the midpoint of its guidance, as demand for high-performance computing equipment and a recovery in several core semiconductor markets supported results. President and CEO Luis Müller said recurring revenue, primarily from consumables, represented approximately 53% of quarterly sales. The company cited customer adoption of its thermal test handlers for AI processors, high-volume manufacturing inspection products, automated test platforms for power and connectivity devices, and software analytics offerings. "Cohu is benefiting from durable demand drivers in AI infrastructure and edge computing," Müller said, pointing to customer investments aimed at managing higher power levels, improving production yield and increasing factory productivity. Utilization and orders improve in computing and industrial markets. Müller said estimated semiconductor test utilization rose sequentially to 80% at the end of the second quarter, a level that has historically marked a turning point for capital spending among the company's integrated device manufacturer customers. Computing and industrial utilization were in the low 80% range, while automotive and mobile utilization was in the high 70% range. Computing accounted for 46% of total system orders in the quarter, with orders rising 150% year over year, driven by growth in Eclipse handlers for high-performance computing applications. Industrial orders increased 87% from a year earlier, consumer orders rose 29%, mobile was essentially flat, and automotive orders fell 24%. The automotive market continues to lag other end markets in the current recovery cycle. Müller said he does not expect automotive utilization to reach 80% until late in the first quarter or the second quarter of 2027. CFO Jeff Jones said Cohu expects its third-quarter revenue increase to be split roughly evenly between high-performance computing and the company's core business, with each contributing about $10 million of growth sequentially. HPC pipeline expands; manufacturing capacity is being increased. Cohu raised its estimate for fiscal 2026 high-performance computing revenue to $100 million to $110 million, from its prior range of $80 million to $100 million. Müller said the increase is entirely tied to the Eclipse handler business rather than Neon inspection systems for high-bandwidth memory. Discover more Company News Derivatives The company now estimates its annual high-performance computing customer pipeline at approximately $850 million, including: * About $190 million of qualified annual opportunity across four customers, consisting of three high-performance computing customers and one HBM customer. * Approximately $250 million of active qualification opportunities across five customers. * Roughly $445 million of early-stage engagement across 10 additional customers. Müller said qualified customer opportunities range from roughly $30 million to $60 million annually per customer. One customer in the qualification group could receive official qualification within about a month, while another may complete its process around the middle of the first quarter of 2027, based on systems expected to ship in late August and an estimated six-month qualification process. To support expected demand, Cohu is expanding internal manufacturing in Malaysia and working with suppliers to increase capacity. The company expects to increase output for HPC handlers by about 50% over the six months following the second quarter and to more than double output by around mid-2027. Müller said the company could potentially triple output by the end of 2027 if market demand supports that expansion. Cohu also received a $26 million order early in the third quarter from a single customer for Eclipse systems, with much of that order expected to ship in the fourth quarter. The company said Eclipse lead times remain about 13 to 14 weeks to the first system shipment after receipt of an order, although larger orders are shipped across multiple weeks. Inspection, software and interface businesses advance. In inspection and metrology, Cohu shipped additional final inspection systems for HBM3, HBM4 and HBM4E devices to a U.S.-based integrated device manufacturer, with a strong forecast for the second half of 2026. The company also qualified its Neon platform at a Taiwan-based outsourced semiconductor assembly and test provider and introduced a shortwave infrared vision sensor designed to detect inner cracks in complex silicon devices. The company said its software analytics business recorded its first $1 million revenue quarter, while orders increased 140% year over year. Cohu is expanding a predictive-maintenance deployment with a high-performance computing chipmaker that Müller said is expected to become its largest software deployment with a single customer. Cohu also continued work on an on-site AI appliance that runs AI models and autonomous agents inside a customer's network, addressing semiconductor manufacturers' data sovereignty requirements. Interface solutions accounted for about 19% of consolidated second-quarter revenue. Cohu booked $500,000 of interface solutions for optical engine testing and is pursuing additional opportunities tied to co-packaged optical devices. The company plans to ship a handler-based qualification unit for optical-engine test by the end of 2026. Margins, balance sheet and outlook. On a non-GAAP basis, second-quarter gross margin was 45.5%, above guidance due primarily to favorable product mix. Operating expenses were $52.7 million, net interest income after interest expense and foreign-currency losses was approximately $1.7 million, and non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.26. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12%. Cash and investments increased approximately $9 million during the quarter to $498 million, while cash from operations was $10 million. Total debt was $304 million, including $288 million related to the company's fourth-quarter 2025 convertible debt offering. Cohu did not repurchase shares during the quarter. For the third quarter, Cohu forecast revenue of approximately $170 million, plus or minus $7 million, representing growth of 14% sequentially and 35% year over year. The company expects third-quarter gross margin of approximately 45% and operating expenses of about $54 million. Cohu also raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to approximately 35% growth from the prior year, implying annual revenue of roughly $610 million to $615 million, according to management's discussion. Jones said fourth-quarter revenue would need to be approximately flat with the third quarter to reach that range. The company said rising demand has contributed to longer lead times and higher costs for certain semiconductors and specialty components, particularly memory. Cohu has made advance purchases where possible and has begun discussions with customers about passing along some higher costs. Management said its guidance incorporates current supply-chain risks and constraints. About Cohu (NASDAQ:COHU).
