JPMorgan Raises Coherent (COHR) Price Target on Strong Growth Outlook

The firm modified its projections to take into consideration Coherent’s anticipated trajectory of growth and profitability. In fiscal 2026 and 2027, JPMorgan now projects a 10% increase in revenue, with gross margins of roughly 39% in fiscal year 2026 and 40% in fiscal year 2027. The projected results translate into earnings per share forecasts of $4.50 in FY26 and $5.70 in FY27, which puts JPMorgan’s FY27 estimates 4% higher than the consensus.

Despite finding “multiple levers of upside” to these assumptions, the firm stated that it is making the cautious assumption that Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) would meet its three to four-year targets in four years as opposed to three.
