On October 22, Coherent fell 5.34% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $224.87 per share with turnover of $2.9139 million.

The move coincided with a fresh target price cut from Susquehanna, which lowered its price target on Coherent to $350 from $425, adding pressure to sentiment.

Background context shows Coherent still carries an average overweight rating, with the latest mean target price around $402.71. However, this follows another recent target reduction by B. Riley to $297 from $345 while maintaining a neutral rating, reinforcing concerns that valuation multiples across the optical communications chain are being compressed ahead of the company’s next earnings report scheduled for November 4.
