Shares of Coherent (COHR.US) experienced a notable decline during Tuesday's trading session. At the time of writing, the stock was down 5.72% to $390.18.

Catalyst for the Move

The downturn followed the company's announcement that it has signed a non-binding preliminary memorandum of terms with the U.S. Department of Commerce. This agreement outlines the intent for Coherent to receive $50 million in direct funding under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act.

The allocated funds are designated for the expansion of the company's six-inch indium phosphide semiconductor wafer fabrication facility located in Sherman, Texas.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion was held on the same day as the announcement.
