Coherent stock price target raised to $134 by Raymond James

Investing.com - Raymond James raised its price target on Coherent (NYSE:COHR) to $134.00 from $120.00 while maintaining a Strong Buy rating following the company’s fiscal fourth-quarter 2025 results. The company, which generated $5.8 billion in revenue with a 35% gross margin in the last twelve months, has shown remarkable momentum with a 70% stock return over the past year according to InvestingPro data.

The optical components manufacturer reported strong performance in its DCI/ZR segment, though its Datacom division showed only modest quarter-over-quarter growth, according to Raymond James.

The research firm noted that while competitive share shifts are occurring in the market, capacity constraints remain the primary limitation for Coherent’s growth potential.

Raymond James indicated that Coherent’s guidance suggests Datacom sales could grow between $50 million and $100 million quarter-over-quarter, which the firm characterized as a prudent outlook.

The 20% afterhours stock decline following the earnings report represents an overreaction according to Raymond James, which cited robust datacenter/DCI trends expected to continue into 2026 as support for its bullish stance. InvestingPro analysis shows strong analyst consensus with a bullish 1.53 rating, though the stock currently trades above its Fair Value.
