Frequently asked
Does Cohu (COHU) pay a dividend?+
No. Cohu (COHU) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2020, and nothing has been paid since.
How does Cohu return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. Cohu pays no dividend and we do not see a meaningful reduction in share count over the last twelve months, so cash is being retained in the business or spent on growth rather than returned. That is common for companies reinvesting heavily, and it means your return depends entirely on the share price.
Could Cohu afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Cohu generated $56 million of free cash flow, which is about $1.03 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.51 per share, a yield of about 1.2% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
Which industrials companies do pay dividends?+
Our Industrials sector page ranks the companies we cover by dividend score, which combines payout safety, free cash flow coverage and growth record. If income is what you are after, start there rather than with Cohu.
