Hi Bear,

I wonder if there is an payoff penalty?

Cohu ran debt free for decades, so I'm sure they do don't mind it.

They have always and I suspect always will be very cyclical.

Years ago I liked them for that reason. THe PC cycle distated everything.

I used to bail out on a double, and wait for the trough in business. If I missed bailing the cycle came back a her or two later and meanwhile they were paying a dividend - albeit small, but better than a bank paid.

They are doing the correct things - building up the contactors and recurring consumables.

This next cycle when all the onshoring in EU, UK and the U S begins the ramp on new systems, they print money if and when that 1 billion mark is reached.

They could do a split, buy back a LOT of stock before that, or buy another leader in the special packaging/advanced packaging test.

Hang in there Bear!

Bob
