On August 12, Coherent rose 8.82% in regular trading, trading at approximately $351.87/share, with turnover of $3.22 billion. The rally was driven by the confirmation of strong Q4 earnings growth expectations combined with a technical rebound from prior oversold conditions.
Coherent released its Q4 fiscal report after market close, with consensus estimates projecting revenue of approximately $19.86 billion, representing 31.65% year-over-year growth, and adjusted EPS of approximately $1.62, up 76.71% YoY. The data center and communications segment has become the company's primary revenue driver, with last quarter's segment revenue surging 41% YoY and segment profit climbing 49%, fueled by sustained AI computing demand driving platform product volumes.
Notably, the stock had plunged over 9% in the two trading days prior to the earnings release due to risk-averse selling, making this rebound partly a technical recovery. Over the past two years, Coherent has delivered EPS beats 100% of the time and revenue beats 88% of the time, further bolstering investor confidence in earnings delivery.
