Description: COHU Cohu January 21, 2026
Cohu, Inc. designs, manufactures, and services semiconductor test and inspection equipment-including metrology automation systems, MEMS test modules, test contactors, thermal subsystems, and AI-enabled data-analytics software-serving manufacturers and test subcontractors across the United States, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and other global markets.
In fiscal 2023 the company reported roughly $215 million in revenue, a modest 5 % year-over-year increase, with a gross margin near 45 % and cash and equivalents of about $150 million, reflecting its ability to fund ongoing R&D and capital spending without relying heavily on external financing.
The broader semiconductor test equipment market is expanding at an estimated 6 % compound annual growth rate, driven primarily by the surge in AI/ML accelerator demand and the shift toward advanced packaging (2.5 D/3D) and sub-10 nm nodes, which raise the complexity and volume of wafer-level and package-level testing.
