On October 22, Coherent recorded an Overnight fall of 5.02%, trading at $225.6 per share with turnover of $4.6545 million.
The clearest catalyst was a fresh investment-bank target cut: Susquehanna lowered its price target on Coherent to $350 from $425, adding to recent pressure on optical communications names.
The latest target revision followed another cut earlier in the month, when B. Riley reduced its target to $297 from $345 while keeping a neutral rating. Despite Coherent still carrying an average overweight-style analyst stance and a mean target near $402.71, consecutive downward revisions reinforced market concerns that AI optical communications valuations are being compressed as investors focus more on whether high growth can convert into stable volume revenue. Coherent is scheduled to report fiscal first-quarter results on November 4.
