23 Sep
COHU CEO Luis A. Muller sold 55,794 shares on Sept. 21, 2026 for about $3.3 million, cutting his direct stake by 6% to 871,825 shares. The post-transaction holding includes 508,101 restricted stock units that will vest into common stock. The sale was made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted May 28, 2026, designed to prearrange trades. At the time, the stock traded around $60 per share (close $60.62 on the day); the shares had gained about 169% over the previous year. As of Sept. 22, the share price stood at $64.54, giving Cohu a market cap of roughly $3.2 billion. Cohu posted TTM revenue of about $523 million with a net loss near $39 million; revenue rose about 33% year over year, and the company narrowed its annual loss on a same-basis comparison from $70 million in 2025.
