On August 6, Coherent declined 3.06% overnight, trading at $318.19/share, with turnover of $3.41 million.
The decline reflects short-term profit-taking pressure after the stock surged over 15% since August 4, when news broke that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission is drafting measures to ban imports of new Chinese optical transceiver modules to protect AI data center critical infrastructure. The rapid accumulation of gains created significant selling pressure from short-term holders. Peer Corning fell 1.88%, with the broader sector trending weak.
Coherent is scheduled to report fourth fiscal quarter earnings on August 12. Market consensus expects revenue of approximately $19.86 billion, representing 31.65% year-over-year growth, and adjusted earnings per share of approximately $1.62, representing 76.71% year-over-year growth. Institutional views remain broadly positive ahead of the release.
