Coherent: A Compelling Opportunity For Patient Investors
Published: February 18, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
COHR's vertical integration, 6-inch wafer ramp, and strategic divestitures are expected to drive margin expansion and revenue acceleration in AI data center optics. Despite near-term FCF headwinds and lower operating margins than Lumentum's, Coherent's capacity expansion and increasing profitability position it for potential outperformance post-2026. Execution risks remain around InP wafer yields, fab ramp, and packaging bottlenecks, but successful scaling could justify a significant valuation re-rating.
