One more issue for the Cohu marketmakers to digest today. The July BTB came out after the market close. Some confusing numbers. The BTB was 1.11 overall. That sounds good but the month to month orders were down 8% which is not so good. Breaking out the test and assembly companies shows a better picture for us. In the test sector the BTB was 1.27 and that orders from June to July were down slightly by 3% whereas shipments were up 6%. I doubt if semi-equip stocks will react very well to the release but the test companies should do better as the 1.27 BTB looks incredible except that it was on flat orders. Add this news with the stock split and Friday should be an interesting day!
