Breaking Down Coherent: 14 Analysts Share Their Views

J.P. Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee sees a brighter outlook for Coherent Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) and Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>), having successfully scaled the &#8220;wall of worry&#8221; that defined the optics sector&#8217;s recent past.
With concerns easing around CPO (co-packaged optics) disruption, pricing pressure, tech transitions such as EML to SiPh, and tariffs, Chatterjee expects optics firms to deliver stronger performance in the second half of 2025, supported by improving demand and better strategic positioning.
For Coherent, the analyst raised the target multiple to 22x and increased the December 2025 price forecast to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COHR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$100 from $86</a> while maintaining an Overweight rating.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44651784/coherent-upgraded-to-buy-analyst-sees-strong-growth-in-ai-transceivers-and-telecom-demand-through-2030" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coherent Gets Analyst Upgrade, But Tariffs Could Cast Shadow Over Future Growth</a>
He cited the company&#8217;s effective navigation of CPO disruption and the strength of its broad product portfolio as key drivers of confidence in its long-term growth and margin goals.
Chatterjee now models 10% revenue growth for Coherent in fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2027, with gross margins reaching approximately 39% and 40%, respectively. Updated EPS forecasts stand at $4.50 for fiscal year 2026 and $5.70 for fiscal year 2027, with the latter about 4% above consensus estimates.
For Lumentum, Chatterjee raised the target multiple to 20x and lifted the December 2025 price forecast to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LITE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$100 from $87</a>, reiterating an Overweight rating.
The analyst highlighted stronger Telecom DCI demand and a faster ramp in Datacom, particularly through Cloudlight, as key drivers of Lumentum&#8217;s improved revenue outlook and raised earnings forecasts.
The analyst now projects that Lumentum will reach $600 million in quarterly revenue by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. EPS estimates have been raised to $4.20 for fiscal year 2026 (up from $3.95) and $5.90 for fiscal year 2027 (up from $5.55).
Recently, Lumentum <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/guidance/25/06/45760251/lumentum-stock-jumps-after-the-close-on-rosier-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised</a> its fourth-quarter revenue guidance to $465 million-$475 million, up from the prior $440 million-$470 million range. The company also expects to reach $500 million in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, one quarter ahead of schedule.
It also raised Q4 earnings guidance to 78–85 cents per share, with operating margins now expected in the 14%–15% range.
Following recent company updates from Lumentum, multiple Wall Street analysts have raised their price forecasts, signaling increased confidence in the stock&#8217;s trajectory.
The ratings are generally positive, ranging from Neutral to Strong Buy, with firms like Rosenblatt and Needham now targeting a price of $105.

Optics Rebound In Sight: J.P. Morgan Boost Targets On Coherent, Lumentum Amid Tech Shift Easing

JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintains Coherent (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $86 to $100.

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on Coherent, Raises Price Target to $100

Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya on Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tech-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recapped takeaways from</a> a tech conference in which 27 companies attended.
Representatives from the following companies attended: Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>); Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>); Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>); Marvell Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>); Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>); Coherent (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>); Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>); ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>); Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>); Synopsys (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>); and Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>); KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>); and Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>).
Arya noted that the overall tone was positive across computing and networking for GPU (Nvidia and AMD) and ASIC (Marvell) vendors.
He maintains Nvidia with a Buy rating with a $180 price target. Nvidia remains best positioned to benefit from the ongoing AI tide, supported by a multi-year lead in performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support, he adds.
Also, the company&#8217;s rack-scale systems are in full production and overall AI demand continues to rise for inference reasoning and sovereign AI.

Arm also expects a continued 50% server CPU deployment share this year, Arya said.
Arya raised his price target on Arm to $150 (from $135) on the continued proliferation (market share gain) of Arm-based CPUs in the data center, above peers, though justified by Arm&#8217;s superior growth profile, sticky Licensing business, and expanding Royalty rates.
Concerns about tariff-related pull-ins remain at Intel for PCs. Still, AMD continues to see strong sell-through in the second quarter, aided by higher-ASP new products, and could even see seasonal second-half strength, the analyst said.
Arya said Lam Research, KLA Corp, and Applied Materials indicated strong momentum in leading-edge F/L and advanced DRAM WFE this year, which is helping to offset weakness in China and trailing-edge spending to sustain mid-single-digit Y/Y growth in calendar 2025.
The analyst said KLA Corp also suggested that mid-single-digit Y/Y WFE growth in calendar 2026 could be a plausible assumption led by strong 2nm/GAA investments.
Lam Research noted NAND upgrades in the early stages across multiple customers inside a $40 billion multi-year opportunity, Arya said. Crucially, all vendors suggested China is &#8220;de-risked&#8221; this year despite recent restriction noise and can settle at 25%- 30% of sales, the analyst noted.
Arya raised his Lam Research price target to $100 (from $90), which was justified by improving NAND prospects as a leading-edge foundry/logic, and advanced DRAM (DDR5/HBM) remained strong.
The analyst raised his price target on KLA Corp to $900 (from $825), given increasing leading-edge F/L ramp visibility, advanced packaging TAM expansion, and best-in-class profitability.
He raised his Lumentum price target to $78 (from $70), justified by broad-based strength in the data center.
Arya raised his On Semiconductor price target to $60 (from $55), which was justified following management calling the second-quarter auto bottom with broad-based recovery across auto and industrial expected in the second half.

Wall Street analysts responded to Ciena Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) second-quarter financial results on Thursday.
Ciena reported a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45790736/ciena-stock-slides-after-q2-eps-miss-margin-drop-despite-strong-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly revenue growth</a> of 23.6% to $1.13 billion, beating the&nbsp;analyst consensus&nbsp;estimate of $1.09 billion.
The American telecommunications networking equipment and software services supplier reported an adjusted EPS of 42 cents,&nbsp;which missed the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate&nbsp;of 52 cents.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45779192/ciena-ai-ambitions-face-margin-math-marvell-ous-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ciena Set To Beat Q2 Estimates But AI Ambitions Face Margin Math And Marvell-ous Rivals</a>
The adjusted gross margin declined by 250 bps to 41%, and the adjusted operating margin increased by 140 bps to 8.2%.
Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese maintained Ciena <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CIEN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Neutral</a> and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$85&nbsp;to&nbsp;$78.
Needham analyst Ryan Koontz reiterated Ciena with a Buy and a $90&nbsp;price target.
Rosenblatt: Genovese noted his Ciena preview was accurate since he expected increased revenue guidance. However, he was worried about margins because of customer and product mix and the time it could take to achieve the mid-40s gross margin and mid-teens operating margin targets.
The analyst said the gross margin was light because of a heavy sales mix of new line systems, which tend to get filled with high-margin cards later and 400ZR pluggable. The good news is that higher revenues appear sustainable.
Genovese said Cloud and Service Provider DCI markets can drive multi-year growth above 8% to 11%. The analyst noted Ciena will likely increase its multi-year revenue growth above this range before the end of fiscal 2025. He said the company has also won its first two Datacom Campus deals, including one likely to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with revenues slated to begin in 2026.
As per Genovese, the read for Datacom companies, like Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>), is positive since Cloud capex is substantial and the 1.6+T Datacom products Ciena is moving over the next few years are expected to be good for the gross margins. 
The read is also positive for Telecom- and DCI-exposed names, like Viavi Solutions (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIAV#NASDAQ">VIAV</a>), Ribbon Communications (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBBN#NASDAQ">RBBN</a>) and ADTRAN Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADTN#NASDAQ">ADTN</a>), since Telecom demand is strong and Ciena&#8217;s gross margins issues are company-specific, the analyst said.
For Ciena, he sought signs that margins are sustainably improving before potentially becoming more constructive in his rating.
Genovese projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.58 billion (prior $4.41 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.24 (prior $2.43).
Needham: Ciena reported mixed fiscal second-quarter results, with revenue and adjusted EPS +3% and -10 cents versus consensus, and fiscal second-half guidance reflects meaningfully higher revenue growth but lower gross margin and EPS than expected.
Fiscal second-quarter strength in Cloud (+88% Y/Y) drove the outperformance and strong bookings (B2B &gt; 1), but new products that carry lower gross margins are increasing in mix faster than expected, the analyst said. 
Increased tariff costs also impact gross profit by ~$10 million per quarter, which he feared could worsen given uncertainties.
Koontz noted the stock pullback as a buying opportunity for a company with the industry&#8217;s best technology and customer relationships. The analyst expects Ciena to benefit from continued share gains and is enthused about emerging intra-data center opportunities in fiscal 2027, although less bullish on Switching and Broadband.
Koontz projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.57 billion (prior $4.44 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.25 (prior $2.58).
CIEN Price Action: CIEN stock is up 0.22% at $73.29 at publication on Friday.

Breaking Down Coherent: 9 Analysts Share Their Views

Morgan Stanley analyst Meta Marshall maintains Coherent (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) with a Equal-Weight and raises the price target from $70 to $74.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Equal-Weight on Coherent, Raises Price Target to $74

Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) finance chief, Vaibhav Taneja, has received a record-breaking compensation of $139 million in 2024, outpacing most CEOs and setting a new benchmark for CFOs.
What Happened: Taneja&#8217;s compensation package is the highest ever awarded to a CFO since modern disclosure standards began in 2006, exceeding the $86 million granted to Nikola&#8217;s CFO in 2020. Notably, Nikola has since filed for bankruptcy, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-sets-record-with-139-million-pay-package-for-finance-chief-0eb2e8e7?mod=hp_lead_pos6">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. According to Equilar, that's also more than what most CEOs earn.
Taneja's compensation was primarily linked to stock options and equity grants awarded in October 2024, after his promotion to CFO in August 2023. The 47-year-old has been part of Tesla since 2017, holding several financial leadership positions.
The CFO received the award amid mixed Tesla&#8217;s performance: its stock surged after President Trump&#8217;s election, but global vehicle deliveries dropped for the first time in over a decade. In Q1, deliveries declined 13% and net profit plummeted 71%.

Why It Matters: Taneja&#8217;s record-breaking compensation comes at a time when Tesla&#8217;s financial performance has been under scrutiny. The company&#8217;s co-founder and CEO, <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269713/elon-musk-challenges-judges-decision-seeks-reinstatement-of-record-56-billion-tesla-payout">Elon Musk</a>, is currently appealing a court decision that overturned his $56 billion payout, arguing that it significantly contributed to Tesla&#8217;s growth.
Notably, Tesla Inc. has amended its corporate bylaws to deter future shareholder lawsuits like the one that blocked Musk's record pay package. As of May 15, investors must own at least 3% of Tesla's shares to initiate or maintain a derivative lawsuit, according to a regulatory filing disclosed late Friday.
Furthermore, Taneja&#8217;s compensation surpasses that of the highest-paid CEO in America in 2024,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45192402/highest-paid-ceo-in-america-bagged-a-nine-figure-package-beating-tim-cook-satya-nadella-and-bob-iger">Jim Anderson</a>&nbsp;of Coherent Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>), who received a $101.5 million package. This prompts discussion about the sustainability of high compensation packages, particularly given Tesla&#8217;s recent financial performance.
Tesla stock lost 2.25% to close at $342.09 on Monday. Over the past month, it gained 50.37%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro. </a>

Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja Receives Record $139 Million Pay, Surpassing Most CEOs, Even As Elon Musk Faces Compensation Lawsuit

Coherent's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.8% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Coherent's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
