On September 8, Coherent rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $294.67/share, with turnover of $298 million. The stock gained momentum ahead of a major industry event and on the back of fresh institutional endorsement.

The 27th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) is set to open on September 9, where Coherent will showcase its full-stack photonic solutions including 6.4T slot-based CPO, 1.6T VCSEL NPO, and 12.8T XPO high-speed interconnect modules, spanning silicon photonics, VCSEL multi-mode, and InP technology routes. The exhibition has lifted market expectations for next-generation high-speed optical interconnect commercialization. Additionally, Deutsche Bank recently initiated coverage of the AI hardware sector, assigning Coherent a Buy rating and highlighting optical networking hardware makers as the biggest winners in the AI era. The company also reported better-than-expected earnings in mid-August, while NVIDIA CPO switch mass production and accelerating OCS order fulfillment have reinforced the bullish outlook for the optical communication upcycle. Coherent also began customer sampling of 300mm high thermal conductivity SiC substrates for AI chip cooling, further broadening its AI infrastructure footprint.
