Rhea AI COHU FY2025

Cohu's sales have partly returned, but its largely fixed operating cost base still produces losses even when cash flow turns positive.

The FY2025 gap between a net loss of $74.3M and operating cash flow of $31.7M shows that accounting losses did not equal immediate cash outflow. Depreciation and amortization of $50.7M helps explain the difference; after capital spending, free cash flow was only $10.7M, making cash generation modest relative to the reported loss.

Gross margin slipped from 47.6% in FY2023 to 42.8% in FY2025, while operating margin reached -15.4%. This indicates that the revenue contraction exposed a cost structure that remained too large for the smaller business, rather than merely weakening production economics.

The balance sheet also changed financing character: long-term debt rose from $7.1M in FY2024 to $285.0M in FY2025. Despite a 6.9x current ratio, that shift makes the capital structure more debt-reliant than a year earlier.

Leverage
66

Cohu Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.36, meaning only $0.36 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 66/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
95

With a current ratio of 6.88, Cohu Inc holds $6.88 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 95/100.

Altman Z-Score Safe
4.89

Cohu Inc scores 4.89, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($3.0B) relative to total liabilities ($457.4M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
4/9

Cohu Inc passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Mixed
N/A

Cohu Inc reported a net loss of $74.3M while generating $31.7M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk
N/A

Cohu Inc reported an operating loss of $69.8M against $2.1M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.
