Welcome to our dedicated page for COHERENT SEC filings (Ticker: COHR), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Coherent Corp. filings document the formal disclosures of a Pennsylvania operating company whose common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under COHR. Recent Form 8-K reports cover quarterly operating results, Regulation FD investor materials, executive transition matters, shareholder-vote results and capital-structure events.
The filing record also documents securities registered under Section 12(b), a completed private placement of common stock to NVIDIA, Series B convertible preferred stock and a dividend-rights waiver by its holder. These disclosures connect Coherent's photonics operations with governance, ownership, financing and reporting matters, including exhibits furnished with earnings releases and investor presentations.
Coherent Corp. delivered strong quarterly growth, with revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 rising 17% to $1,686 million and diluted EPS increasing to $0.76 from $0.44. Growth was driven by a 34% revenue increase in Datacenter & Communications, supported by continued AI datacenter demand and higher telecom shipments.
Industrial revenue declined 10%, mainly because Coherent sold its aerospace and defense business for approximately $400 million, generating a $115 million gain but also recording $20 million of non-cash impairment charges on assets held-for-sale. Gross margin improved to 37% of revenues, helped by cost reductions, manufacturing efficiencies, and pricing optimization. Coherent converted all Series B preferred stock into common stock, reclassifying about $2.5 billion into equity and eliminating preferred dividends, while a lower 4% effective tax rate further boosted net earnings. The company also refinanced and upsized its revolving credit facility to $700 million and added new term A loans, maintaining compliance with all debt covenants.
Coherent Corp. filed a current report to furnish materials related to its financial results. The company issued a press release, attached as Exhibit 99.1, and an investor slide presentation, attached as Exhibit 99.2, for use by senior management in discussions with investors and others.
The furnished information under Items 2.02 and 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is explicitly not deemed “filed” under the Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into Securities Act filings.
Coherent Corp. has filed an automatic shelf registration statement to permit selling securityholders to resell up to 9,775,846 shares of its common stock issued upon conversion of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. These shares may be sold from time to time, in varying amounts and at prices determined at the time of sale.
The company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares, although it will pay specified registration expenses, while selling securityholders bear any underwriting discounts and commissions. As of the close of business on December 15, 2025, Coherent had 187,419,766 shares of common stock outstanding, providing context for the size of this potential resale.
Coherent Corp. is updating how it reports its business by moving to two operating segments, Datacenter & Communications and Industrial, effective with its 2026 fiscal year starting July 1, 2025. To align past disclosures with this new structure, the company is providing recast historical segment information for earlier periods and incorporating that information by reference into its other SEC filings, including registration statements.
The company has revised portions of its 2025 Form 10-K, including the Business, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and Financial Statements sections, mainly to update segment and related note disclosures. Coherent states that these changes do not affect its previously reported consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and do not constitute a restatement of prior financial statements.
