On August 25, Coherent rose 3.76% in regular trading, trading at approximately $288.11/share, with turnover of $45.35 million. The rebound follows a cumulative decline exceeding 25% since August 18, driven by a combination of oversold technical repair and broader sector stabilization.
The stock had been under intense selling pressure over the prior week due to multiple headwinds: a sector-wide selloff triggered by surging U.S. 30-year Treasury yields hitting 5.337% (a 19-year high), CPO technology disruption concerns, and peer Applied Optoelectronics announcing a $600 million ATM equity offering on August 24 — its third capital raise this year — which intensified funding and dilution fears across the optical communications space. Coherent fell 5.25% in the prior session on that news alone.
On August 25, sector-wide selling pressure showed signs of abating, with peers Corning up 2.69% and Vishay Intertechnology up 3.55%, indicating broader Electronic Components industry recovery. Fundamentally, Coherent reported Q4 fiscal revenue of $2.05 billion, up 34% year-over-year, with adjusted EPS of $1.74 beating estimates by over 7%.
