On September 14, Coherent fell 7.46% in regular trading, trading at 277.72 USD/share, with turnover of approximately 131 million USD.
On the news front, Anthropic CEO publicly called for the industry to voluntarily slow the pace of AI capability advancement over the weekend, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk voicing agreement. OpenAI further announced it would not pursue its IPO plan this year, causing AI industry expansion expectations to cool sharply. Michael Burry criticized the initiative, arguing the slowdown push may serve to protect incumbents and provide cover for genuine growth deceleration, as related companies continue to delay IPO timelines.
As a core supplier of optical interconnect solutions for AI computing infrastructure, Coherent was directly impacted by market concerns over a potential pullback in AI-related capital expenditure. The broader Electronic Components sector saw widespread declines, with Corning falling 9.55%, Vishay Intertechnology down 7.63%, Amphenol dropping 5.79%, Littelfuse declining 5.94%, and Rogers losing 4.01%. Additionally, the FCC finalized rules targeting national security threats in the communications supply chain, adding regulatory uncertainty to the optical communication segment.
