COHERENT's stock experienced a pre-market plunge of 5.13% on Thursday, extending a recent correction in the optical communications company's share price.
The decline is attributed to profit-taking pressure that has emerged following a series of sharp gains. Traders are locking in profits after the stock's rapid appreciation in previous sessions.
The rally was initially fueled by NVIDIA's announcement of a $2 billion strategic investment in Coherent for photonic technology research and development, along with U.S. domestic manufacturing expansion. The two companies also signed a multi-year strategic agreement to secure key capacity in light sources, optical components, and silicon photonics. This catalyst had previously driven COHERENT's stock to surge over 17% and reach a 52-week high.
