Deep Analysis
The debt-to-equity ratio compares a company’s total debt to shareholders’ equity, indicating financial leverage.
Cohu’s current ratio of 0.38x means it uses 38 cents of debt for every dollar of equity. This is above the sector median of 0.27x, placing Cohu in the 59th percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows an 11.6% decrease, bringing the ratio down from 0.43x. The combination of a level above the median and a declining trend suggests moderate leverage that is moving toward less risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the ratio is neither dangerously high nor exceptionally low, and the recent improvement tempers any concern.
