Cohu (COHU)

The company’s portfolio includes automated test equipment, semiconductor test handlers, inspection systems, thermal subsystems, MEMS test modules, and interface products such as contactors, probe heads, and probe pins. These products help customers test chips under controlled electrical and temperature conditions, automate high-volume device handling, and identify defects during the production flow. Cohu also sells spare parts, kits, bare board PCB test systems, and related services, giving it exposure to both new equipment demand and ongoing support needs.

Cohu reports through a single business segment, Semiconductor Test and Inspection Equipment. Its technology is relevant to a wide range of semiconductor applications, including automotive electronics, industrial systems, communications devices, computing, and consumer products. Because chipmakers tend to adjust capital spending with the semiconductor cycle, demand for Cohu’s equipment can vary with industry conditions, new product introductions, and factory utilisation levels.

The company operates globally and serves major semiconductor manufacturing regions across Asia and North America. Revenue is especially tied to customers and manufacturing activity in markets such as the Philippines, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, the United States, and Singapore.
