Jim Cramer Shares Key Insight About Coherent (COHR)

Artisan Mid Cap Fund discussed Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Our top contributors in Q4 were Argenx, Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) and Insmed. Coherent is a leading supplier of lasers and photonics solutions used across data center, industrial and communications applications. Recent earnings were solid, with results exceeding expectations and management highlighting strong demand for high-speed optical components supporting AI-driven data center growth, alongside improving margins. Management also expressed increased confidence in Coherent’s vertically integrated indium phosphide platform, which provides supply chain flexibility and a competitive advantage amid constrained industry capacity. Given the stock’s strong performance and valuation nearing the upper end of our assessed range, we trimmed the position during the quarter while maintaining conviction in the company’s longer term growth opportunities.”
