SAXONBURG, Pa., Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in photonics, today announced that it will host a Technology Innovation Briefing during the 2026 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) in Los Angeles on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.

COHR's vertical integration, 6-inch wafer ramp, and strategic divestitures are expected to drive margin expansion and revenue acceleration in AI data center optics. Despite near-term FCF headwinds and lower operating margins than Lumentum's, Coherent's capacity expansion and increasing profitability position it for potential outperformance post-2026. Execution risks remain around InP wafer yields, fab ramp, and packaging bottlenecks, but successful scaling could justify a significant valuation re-rating.
