On August 13, Coherent fell 3.28% in pre-market trading, trading at $343.76/share, with turnover of $6.05 million, extending the after-hours sell-off that followed its fiscal Q4 earnings release.

On the news front, Coherent reported fiscal Q4 results on August 12 after market close that comprehensively beat expectations: revenue came in at $2.046 billion, up 34% year-over-year versus the $1.986 billion consensus; adjusted EPS reached $1.74, a 74% increase and well above the $1.61 estimate; gross margin expanded over 200 basis points year-over-year to 40.2%. Fiscal Q1 guidance was equally strong, with midpoint revenue of approximately $2.3 billion and EPS of approximately $1.95, exceeding consensus by roughly 7% and 10%, respectively. Management emphasized prioritizing investment to expand manufacturing capacity and noted exceptionally strong demand for the new fiscal year.

However, Coherent shares had already surged 8.82% during regular trading on August 12 ahead of the release, fully reflecting elevated growth expectations. The after-hours session saw a reversal of as much as 8%, representing a classic case of profit-taking on realized good news, a pattern now extending into pre-market trading.
