Cohu Drops 5.6% Amid Sector
Cohu (COHU) dropped 5.6% to $43.51 on Tuesday amid a broad selloff in semiconductor equipment makers. Peers like AXT, Veeco, and Ultra Clean also fell sharply, suggesting sector-wide concerns rather than company-specific issues. Cohu's market cap is $2.1 billion. The declines may indicate shifting demand expectations or macroeconomic concerns.
