Coherent Guides Q1 EPS to $1.85-$2.05, Above Street Views
COHR has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $84.35.
Summary
Coherent issued first-quarter EPS guidance of $1.85 to $2.05, a range that likely exceeds consensus expectations and signals continued momentum from its AI-driven optical components business. The company also guided first-quarter revenue to $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion. Coherent recently secured a $2 billion strategic investment from NVIDIA and converted $2.5 billion in preferred stock, strengthening its balance sheet. This guidance follows a 43.5% five-session rally fueled by a JPMorgan price target raise to $435 and U.S. trade actions. Despite the earnings beat and strong outlook, Coherent stock dropped.
