COHR Stock Recent News

I recommend COHR as a BUY with a $105 price target, driven by robust data center and AI infrastructure growth. Coherent is focusing on high-growth markets, expanding indium phosphide capacity, and sunsetting non-core assets to optimize its portfolio. Strong financial discipline is evident with debt reduction, inventory management, and restructuring, positioning Coherent for margin expansion.

Coherent's upside is driven by GenAI data center demand, strong market share, and respected management, despite leverage and competitive risks. Recent Q3 earnings and Investor Day reinforced the bullish thesis, with robust data center growth and manageable tariff impact. Financial modeling suggests potential for the stock to double by FY29, assuming continued execution and reasonable valuation multiples.
