## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 68.4×** (5-yr avg 65.4×, 3-yr avg 95.7×). Coherent Corp. trades at 68.4× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 65.4×. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 20.2×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.02**. A PEG of 0.02 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 7.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 7.8×.
- **Price / book: 5.1×**. The shares trade at 5.1× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.9%** (5-yr avg 1.3%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 1.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 11.3%**. 11.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 7.4%**. 7.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 4.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 22.5%** (3-yr 11.3%/yr, 5-yr 18.0%/yr). Revenue grew 22.5% over the last year, against 18.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 892.3%** (5-yr 11.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 892.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.30**. Debt is 0.30 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Current ratio: 2.43** (quick 2.43). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.43 times.
