COHERENT's stock price plummeted 5.19% during intraday trading on Friday, extending a recent downward trend for the optical communications company.
The decline represents continued profit-taking pressure following a sharp rally earlier in the week. COHERENT had surged over 17% to a 52-week high after NVIDIA announced a $2 billion strategic investment in the company for photonics technology research and development and U.S. domestic manufacturing expansion.
Despite the recent pullback, fundamental factors remain supportive with NVIDIA's multi-year strategic agreement to secure optical capacity still in execution and COHERENT's 1.6T optical module demand continuing to surge, leading the company to raise its small form-factor pluggable optical module shipment target to 5 million units.
