What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($10.28). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (41/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- A fairly wide model range ($5.39 to $10.28) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Coherent Corp (COHR) currently trades at $327.23, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.70, implying the stock looks roughly 97.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 41/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Coherent Corp generated revenue of $6.6B at a net margin of 7.1%. Revenue grew 20.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.7%. Net debt stands at $3.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $5.39 (bear case) to $10.28 (bull case); at $327.23, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 26% below its 52-week high and 326% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -98%, COHR screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($27.83) versus Dividend Discount ($0.9400). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
