Coherent is well-positioned for AI-driven data center growth but lacks a clear economic moat and carries significant debt, limiting its long-term upside appeal. My base-case DCF values COHR at $115.15, about 23% upside from the current price ($93.3), but that's not enough margin of safety for a no-moat, leveraged business.

Coherent stock (NYSE:COHR), a prominent player in photonics technology, provides materials, photonics, and laser technologies to a variety of end markets, has decreased by nearly 23% year-to-date in 2025. This decline has been fueled by a mixed macroeconomic environment, somewhat cautious near-term forecasts from the company earlier this year, along with a broader market shift away from certain high-growth AI and tech stocks.
Coherent's upside is driven by GenAI data center demand, strong market share, and respected management, despite leverage and competitive risks. Recent Q3 earnings and Investor Day reinforced the bullish thesis, with robust data center growth and manageable tariff impact. Financial modeling suggests potential for the stock to double by FY29, assuming continued execution and reasonable valuation multiples.
We assess COHR's rise to determine whether investors should square off their positions or stay invested in the stock.
