COHR--
CEO Jim Anderson highlighted the company's strong fiscal 2025 performance, with revenue growing by 23% and non-GAAP EPS expanding by 191% [2]. The company is well-positioned for future growth and is optimizing its portfolio by selling its Aerospace and Defense business [2].
Coherent's revenue growth was driven by robust demand in the networking and lasers segments. Networking revenue reached $945.20 million, reflecting strong growth in data center and communications infrastructure. The lasers segment contributed $348 million, demonstrating continued demand for high-performance laser solutions [2].
Despite the strong revenue performance, Coherent posted a net loss of $98.10 million, a 108.7% increase from the $47 million loss in the prior year period. The loss per share widened to $0.83 from $0.52, representing a 59.6% increase in losses. These results highlight the company's ongoing cost pressures and operational challenges [2].
For fiscal Q1 2026, Coherent expects revenue in the range of $1.46–$1.6 billion, with non-GAAP gross margin projected at 37.5–39.5%. Operating expenses are anticipated to be between $290–$310 million, and the company forecasts non-GAAP EPS of $0.93–$1.13, excluding expected post-sale A&D revenue [2].
