What the score is reading for COHR

At the Friday 2 October close, COHR scored 79, fifth of the 34 names here. The two inputs furthest above the board's median that session — not simply the largest, which is what separates COHR from any other name that had a good day — were relative strength at +9.6 — pinned at the most that component can contribute and volume at +1.4. Pulling the other way was drawdown at -3.1 — how far the price sits below its 52-week high.

Across the 16 sessions recorded since 3 September, COHR has scored between 21 and 83, and that 79 sits near the top of that range. Net across the window it is up 51 points, and the largest single-session move was a fall of 59 points on 14 September.

Common questions

Why can Coherent lag pure optical names?

COHR currently scores 79 out of 100, which reads as hot. The score combines six weighted, price-based inputs: momentum, relative strength against the complex, trend against its moving averages, volume, volatility and drawdown from the 52-week high. The full breakdown is shown above.

Where does COHR sit in the AI supply chain?

Coherent is grouped under optical & networking. The interconnect layer. Once a model spans thousands of accelerators, the switches and optics between them become the bottleneck.
