COHU is a one-legged story: a strong earnings surprise (+56.5%, source score 0.967) is the only family firing, and it's doing the heavy lifting behind a middling 54/100 blend. The daily lane itself declines to commit — WATCH at 0% size, entry zone but setup unconfirmed — and that caution is corroborated by a DOWN Markov regime (85% stay) and a peer cluster that CONTRADICTs. With no orthogonal confirmation and the tape in a mean-reversion/down regime, this is a watch-and-wait name, not a convergence.
- EMA/technical leg strong at 71 and daily readiness 71 (GOOD SETUP) in the ENTRY ZONE
- Earnings Surprise the lone contributing source but loud: 0.967 normalized, +56.5% reported
- Prior-flag ground truth shows durable upside: 40d return +39.4% with MFE +39.4% (mature)
- Markov trend DOWN with P(stay) 85% — the dominant regime read is against a bull turn
- Peer cluster verdict CONTRADICT (lag_z +0.8) — the complex is not confirming
- Daily lane is WATCH at 0% size with setup explicitly 'not confirmed'; VScore only 19 and no MC on record
- Single-family coverage (earnings only) — no insider, 13F, catalyst or virality agreement to cross-check
Invalidated if: A confirmed entry trigger flipping the daily lane from WATCH to OPEN alongside the Markov regime turning UP would move this off NEUTRAL to bullish; a breakdown out of the entry zone with readiness falling confirms the bearish Markov instead.
