Why This Score

COHU scores 50.5 on the Conservative profile, blending a fundamental score (80% weight, emphasizing quality and stability (84% of fundamental weight)) with a machine-learning signal (20% weight) trained on 82 features across 30 years of data.

Strengths
  • ML model assigns a high-conviction signal (91/100), indicating strong pattern recognition across 82 features.
Risk Factors
  • Liquidity concern: Limited trading volume or float results in a 2-point penalty for execution risk.
  • Signal divergence: Fundamental and ML signals disagree by a significant margin, reducing confidence.
  • Above-average volatility (12.0%) may not suit conservative risk tolerance.

Moderate penalties (-9.3 points) reflect identified risk factors. The overall score balances these against the stock's fundamental strengths.
