Was COHU's earnings move already priced in?
Stocks often move in the weeks before a report. This compares that run-up with what happened after the report.
“Month before” is the move over the 20 trading days up to the last close before the report. “Priced in” means the good news may already be in the price. A run-up of 5% or more is treated as large.

COHU Earnings FAQ
Answers computed from Cohu, Inc.'s reported history
COHU is scheduled to report on Oct 28, 2026, usually after the market closes. Analysts expect EPS of $0.36.
Over the last 12 quarters with a usable EPS surprise, COHU beat the consensus estimate 7 times (58%), missed 4 and landed in line 1.
Across its last 11 quarters with a measured reaction, COHU moved an average of ±4.9% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 46% of the time; the largest gain was 9.8% and the largest drop -12.4%.
Options currently price a move of about ±10.3% (nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report). It measures the size of the expected move, not its direction. That is 2.11x its average historical move of ±4.9%, so options look expensive relative to history.
COHU fell in the first session after 2 of its last 6 EPS beats (33%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower.
Across its last 11 quarters with price data, COHU moved an average of +4.5% in the 20 trading sessions before reporting and was higher in 55% of them. After a run-up of 3% or more (5 quarters), it fell the next day 60% of the time, averaging -2.4%. After a drop of 3% or more (5 quarters), it rose the next day 40% of the time, averaging -1.8%. This describes past reports; it is not a forecast.
In 9 reports COHU opened at least 1% away from the previous close. It gave back half or more of that gap by the close 4 of 9 times (44%), and fully reversed 2 times. A fade means the opening move was partly undone during the first session.
How we calculate these numbers
Reported EPS and estimates come from Yahoo Finance; report times, upcoming dates and revenue come from Finnhub. The 1-day move is the close-to-close change over the first session that reflects the report (the report-day close for after-close reports, the prior close for pre-market reports); reactions are left blank when the report time is unknown or looks inconsistent. The expected move is the price of the nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report divided by the share price, shown only when the quotes are liquid. Quarters where the two data sources disagree on beat versus miss are shown but never counted. Information only, not investment advice.
