Cohu CEO Sells $3.3 Million Worth of Shares in Prearranged Transaction
Luis A. Muller, the President and CEO of Cohu (NASDAQ: COHU), sold 55,794 shares for approximately $3.3 million on September 21, 2026, as disclosed via an SEC Form 4 filing. The transaction was executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established in May 2026 and represented about 6% of the CEO's total equity stake prior to the sale. Following this disposal, Muller retained direct ownership of 871,825 shares, including unvested restricted stock units. The transaction occurred amid a strong market performance for Cohu’s stock, which had appreciated by 169% over the preceding year and closed at $60.62 on the day of the sale. Analysts suggest that this insider activity should not raise concerns among investors since it was part of a preplanned strategy to manage liquidity rather than an indication of negative sentiment toward the company’s prospects.
