"Coherent just delivered a decisive acceleration, and the market still hasnt caught up. A company that was already executing well is now entering a higher gear. TKey takeaways: Ten consecutive double-beats — a streak that now spans more than two years. Gross margin approaching 40%, ahead of schedule by two quarters. Operating margin nearing 20%, a clear sign of leverage taking hold. Demand visibility now stretches years ahead, with supply constrained in key optical and laser segments. The industrial-laser segment, long a drag, is expected to turn positive next quarter. Peers like Lumentum (LITE) and Broadcom (AVGO) don’t reflect similar GARP/upside. Prior price target: $200 — now raised to $225 (12-month view) with $500 in sight within three years."
Coherent just delivered a decisive acceleration, and the market still hasn’t caught up. A company that was already executing well is now entering a higher gear. The skeptics who believe networking optics (similar to how they felt about memory up until recently) are stagnant are misreading this transformation. Key takeaways: Ten consecutive double-beats — a streak that now spans more than two years. Gross margin approaching 40% , ahead of schedule by two quarters. Operating margin nea
"Bottom line: TSMC just gave me even more conviction that Coherent is on the right side of a multi-year infrastructure buildout. Their optics are mission-critical for AI-scale networking, and we're only getting started. The $10B revenue trajectory by 2027? Still very much in play."
AI Chips Need AI Pipes — Coherent Is Selling the Pipes
"COHR: Makes fiber-optic transceivers/lasers connecting AI GPUs in datacenters. Datacenter/networking rev +39% YoY, 60% of total. Est $2.1-2.8B 2026-27 rev potential from hyperscale buildouts alone. Upgrade cycles from 400ZR→800ZR→1.6T match GPU roadmap. Base case: 2026 $8.4B rev (+35%), 2027 $11B (+32%) at 40% gross margins = ~$8-14 EPS, trading 7.5-13x P/E."
"COHR (earnings update): Strong Q4 results, yet stock plunged 20% on conservative Q1 guidance & GAAP loss. Networking rev grew 39% YoY, data center +61% YoY. Industrial segment sluggish. Non-GAAP margins expanding (38.1%, +220bps YoY). Trading at <20x FY26 EPS despite 20%+ growth. AI data center demand remains robust with 800G & 1.6T transceiver ramps. PT: $200 by 2026."
