COHR COHERENT CORP. Insider Trading

CFO Luther sells 2,000 shares at $372.96, continuing a pattern of all sales with no open-market purchases in 36 months.

Luther Sherri R, Coherent's CFO, sold 2,000 shares, reducing her holdings by roughly 2.8%. This is her third open-market sale at Coherent in the trailing 36 months, continuing a consistent pattern: she has executed 13 open-market sales across her holdings during the same period and has never purchased shares on the open market. Her prior two sales at Coherent were both poorly timed—the stock rose significantly after each exit, meaning she exited before subsequent gains rather than ahead of declines. The company itself shows strong fundamental footing: it is profitable with revenue growth in the double digits, though its valuation appears stretched. The stock has rallied sharply over the past three months and trades well above its 52-week low, creating a backdrop where an insider sale during momentum is noteworthy. However, without evidence of other executives selling concurrently or material corporate developments, this appears to reflect the CFO's personal portfolio management rather than a red flag about company condition.

COHR CFO Luther Sherri R sold 2,000 shares at $351.00 on 2026-04-22; holds 70,475 shares post-transaction.

Luther Sherri R sold 2,000 shares (2.8% of pre-transaction holdings) at $351.00, just $14.91 from the 52-week high of $350.47. The sale came at a peak relative to recent price history: the stock has risen 23.5% in the past 30 days and 70.7% over 90 days, and now trades at $336.09, 4.1% below the transaction price. His cross-ticker track record shows 11 prior sells with a 40.00% well-timed rate at 90-day horizons, but this represents the first measurable outcome at COHR; his earlier COHR sale on 2026-02-12 (achieving +11.5% 30-day return) and current activity provide limited same-ticker pattern data. The transaction is modest in scope relative to his total holdings, and fundamental conditions remain strong: COHR reported revenue of $1,685,629,000.00 and net income of $146,717,000.00 in the latest quarter, with annual revenue growth of 23.4%.

Director Xia Howard H. sold 4,240 shares of COHR for $1,040,942.80 across 4 transactions at blended average $245.51

Xia Howard H., a director at Coherent Corp., executed 4 separate sales totaling 4,240 shares for $1,040,942.80 on March 16–17, 2026, reducing his holdings by 7.8% from 54,538 shares to 50,298 shares. The stock has risen 46.4% over the prior 90 days and is currently trading at $257.21, only 14.0% below its 52-week high of $298.91, suggesting the company is in a strong price environment relative to recent history. With annual revenue growth of 23.4%, a P/E of 164.88, and recent quarterly revenue of $1,685,629,000.00, the company is experiencing robust top-line expansion, though the elevated P/E indicates the market has priced in substantial growth expectations. The director's moderate reduction in stake does not materially alter his significant 50,298-share position post-transaction.

CTO Julie Sheridan sold 2,792 shares of COHR at $291.42 on 2026-03-02 for $813.6K; retains 50.9K shares.

Julie Sheridan, Chief Technology Officer, sold 2,792 shares at $291.42, reducing her holdings by 5.2% to 50.9K shares. The sale occurred when the stock stood at $291.42, only 8.0% below its 52-week high of $298.91 and significantly elevated versus earlier support levels in the $50.58 range. Despite the substantial nominal value of the sale ($813.6K), the relatively small reduction in her remaining holdings (from 53.7K to 50.9K shares) and the absence of any pattern or scheduled plan information in the filing prevents attribution of strong conviction or concern. The company shows solid fundamentals with 23.4% annual revenue growth and $146.7M net income on $1.7B quarterly revenue, though the elevated 176.19 P/E ratio reflects current market sentiment rather than distress signals.

CFO Luther Sherri R sold 4,000 COHR shares at $217.74; retains 72.5K shares post-transaction.

Luther Sherri R, Chief Financial Officer of Coherent Corp., sold 4,000 shares (5.2% of prior holdings) on 2026-02-12 at $217.74 per share for a total of $870,954.40. The CFO retains a substantial position of 72.5K shares, indicating continued meaningful ownership alignment with shareholders. Across his cross-ticker track record of 10 prior open-market sales, the average 90-day return after selling has been −6.5%, with a 40.00% well-timed rate, suggesting modest historical acuity in sale timing but no dominant pattern. The current stock price of $219.96 sits −9.3% from the 52-week high of $242.46, within a 52-week range of $50.58–$242.46, and the stock has appreciated +15.1% over the past 30 days and +53.9% over 90 days—a strong recent run. The company reports revenue of $1.7B in the latest quarter with net income of $146.7M and annual revenue growth of +23.4%, though the elevated P/E of 141.00 reflects market expectations significantly priced into the $41.2B market cap.

COHR Director Corasanti sells 15,000 shares ($3.0M) at $196.74; stock now $178.34 (-10.2% from 52-week high)

Director Joseph J Corasanti sold 15,000 shares of COHERENT CORP at $196.74 on 2025-12-10, representing a -15.8% reduction in his holdings to 79,914 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $198.50, and the stock is now trading at $178.34, indicating the sale captured a peak price window. While his cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with a 30-day return of +20.2%, this same-ticker history at COHR includes only the prior November 2025 sale, making comparative timing patterns limited. The stock has appreciated 73.2% over 90 days and 13.8% over 30 days, suggesting the director sold during a strong uptrend rather than ahead of a decline.

Director Michael L Dreyer sold 11,570 shares of COHR at $144.88 for $1.7M, reducing holdings by 48.9%

Director Michael L Dreyer sold 11,570 shares of Coherent Corp at $144.88 on 2025-11-14, reducing his holdings from 23,655 shares to 12,085 shares—a 48.9% reduction in position size for approximately $1.7M in proceeds. The sale occurred at $144.88 while the current price stands at $139.07, representing a 3.3% decline from the transaction price, though the stock has appreciated 19.5% over the past 30 days and 58.5% over 90 days from lower levels. The transaction takes place in a company with strong recent fundamentals: revenue of $1.6B in the latest quarter, net income of $226.3M, annual revenue growth of 23.4%, and a market cap of $21.9B, though the elevated P/E of 87.47 reflects market expectations embedded in valuation. The substantial reduction in a director's stake—disposing of nearly half his shares at a near-52-week high of $166.72 (current price -16.6% from that peak)—represents a material change in personal exposure to the company.

Bain Capital Investors sells 7,500,000 COHR shares at $143.37; stock rose 36.1% in 30 days post-transaction.

Bain Capital Investors LLC, a 10% shareholder, executed a sale of 7,500,000 shares at $143.37 on 2025-11-07 for $1.1B in total value. The sale eliminated the investor's entire common equity position (7,500,000 shares pre-transaction, 0 post-transaction), though the FLAG notation indicates derivative securities may remain in Table II, suggesting this is a conversion or partial liquidation of one security class rather than a complete exit. Post-transaction, COHR stock has appreciated 36.1% over 30 days and 70.9% over 90 days to a current price of $156.67, indicating the sale was poorly timed relative to subsequent price appreciation. Within Bain Capital's cross-ticker track record, sells have averaged a 75.00% well-timed rate (meaning 75% of prior sells preceded stock declines), but this transaction has moved in the opposite direction, suggesting either a shift in conviction or a structural event unrelated to equity market timing.

Director CORASANTI sold 9,720 shares of COHR at $151.25; stock now $156.67, up 36.1% in 30 days.

Director Joseph J. Corasanti sold 9,720 shares (9.3% reduction in holdings) at $151.25 on 2025-11-07, realizing $1,470,139.31. The sale occurred 5 cents below the current price of $156.67, and the stock has posted strong momentum—up 36.1% over the past 30 days and 70.9% over 90 days, now trading 6.0% below the 52-week high of $166.72. Corasanti retains 94,914 shares post-transaction, indicating a substantial ongoing position. The transaction represents a discrete liquidation event against a backdrop of robust recent gains and positive fundamental performance (23.4% annual revenue growth, $226.3M net income in the latest quarter).

EVP Barbarossa Giovanni sold 60,706 shares of COHR at $160.00 for $9.7M under 10b5-1 plan

Barbarossa Giovanni, EVP of General Management at Coherent Corp., sold 60,706 shares at $160.00 on 2025-11-06 for $9,712,960.00 as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2024-12-06. This represents a scheduled, non-discretionary sale; as a pre-planned transaction, it does not reflect real-time market-driven selling decisions. Post-transaction, Giovanni retains 163,158 shares, indicating he maintained substantial equity ownership despite reducing his position by 27.1% relative to his pre-transaction holdings of 223,864 shares. The structure as a 10b5-1 plan—adopted over a year in advance—distinguishes this from opportunistic or reactive sales and limits inference about near-term sentiment.
