COHR Stock Recent News

Coherent stock (NYSE:COHR), a prominent player in photonics technology, provides materials, photonics, and laser technologies to a variety of end markets, has decreased by nearly 23% year-to-date in 2025. This decline has been fueled by a mixed macroeconomic environment, somewhat cautious near-term forecasts from the company earlier this year, along with a broader market shift away from certain high-growth AI and tech stocks.

SAXONBURG, Pa., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp.

(NYSE: COHR), a global leader in engineered materials, today announces the release of a groundbreaking diamond-loaded silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic composite, designed to tackle the thermal challenges of advanced AI datacenters and high-performance computing (HPC) systems.

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.
