Cohu share dividends

We're not expecting Cohu to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Cohu's shares ever split?

Cohu's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 26 September 1999 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Cohu shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cohu shares which in turn could have impacted Cohu's share price.

Cohu share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Cohu's shares have ranged in value from as little as $22.8 up to $36.6. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Cohu's is 1.521. This would suggest that Cohu's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
