Coherent Corp (COHR) reported $7.1B in revenue for fiscal year 2026, up 22.5% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Profit has recovered, but Coherent now looks like a capital- and working-capital-intensive grower rather than a steady cash generator.
After hovering near breakeven a year earlier, net income snapped back to$805M , yet operating cash flow fell to just$79.5M . With inventory swelling and capex climbing, that divergence pushed free cash flow to-$1.0B , indicating a cash-absorbing buildout rather than the kind of cash release that would normally validate reported earnings.
At the latest year, leverage eased materially: debt-to-equity reached 0.3x, and the current ratio remained above 2x. That means weaker cash generation did not coincide with a balance sheet under immediate pressure, giving the company more room to fund a heavy investment cycle without relying as much on creditors.

Coherent Corp's revenue surged 22.5% year-over-year to $7.1B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 84/100.
Coherent Corp carries a low D/E ratio of 0.29, meaning only $0.29 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 68/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
With a current ratio of 2.43, Coherent Corp holds $2.43 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 68/100.
While Coherent Corp generated $79.5M in operating cash flow, capex of $1.1B consumed most of it, leaving -$1.0B in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 19/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Coherent Corp's ROE of 7.4% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 35/100. This is up from 0.9% the prior year.
Coherent Corp passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Coherent Corp generates $0.10 in operating cash flow ($79.5M OCF vs $805.0M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
