On November 12, Coherent fell 9.83% in Regular Trading, trading at $223.7 per share, with turnover of $282 million.
The move followed intensified short-term profit-taking and positioning pressure after the company had already rallied on quarterly results and next-quarter guidance that both exceeded market expectations, alongside recent analyst target-price increases.
Coherent previously reported quarterly revenue of $2.37 billion, up 50% year over year, and adjusted EPS of $2.09. Its next-quarter guidance called for revenue of $2.55 billion to $2.75 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.28 to $2.48, both above consensus. Recent target increases included $440 and $524.96, but after the sharp rebound, intraday trading reflected greater divergence in capital flows and a release of selling pressure.
