Coherent's AI infrastructure momentum, expanding profitability and stronger valuation make it the more compelling opportunity over Arm Holdings.

SAXONBURG, Pa., July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR) (“Coherent,” “We,” or the “Company”), a global leader in photonics, announced today that it will release its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, on Wednesday, August 12, after the New York Stock Exchange closes. The release will be followed by a live audio webcast at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the results.

Here is how Coherent (COHR) and Enpro (NPO) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
AI data centers are approaching copper's physical limits, accelerating adoption of silicon photonics solutions. Coherent and Lumentum supply critical optical components powering next-generation AI infrastructure growth.

KraneShares just launched an actively managed ETF targeting the laser and optical chip companies powering AI data centers, but a fund with only two days of price history, a waivable fee discount, and holdings already deep in a selloff raises a pointed question about whether the timing is opportunity or trap.

The Zacks Technology Services industry is growing rapidly, fueled by the swift adoption of remote work and other technological advancements, boosting revenues and cash flow since the pandemic. DAVE, VVX and COHR are expected to follow the growth momentum.

Shares of Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) are sliding Wednesday afternoon, down 12% to $110 and change, as investors pull back from the highest-beta corners of the AI optics trade.

Coherent's post-earnings pullback has improved its risk-reward profile despite strong results, higher guidance and expanding AI infrastructure demand.
