Valuation vs Own History COMMODITY — slow-moving; 60d lag; EV/EBITDA canonical
Research notes (read before interpreting):
  • The news-vs-expectations thesis is UNTESTED by the backtest (look-ahead-impossible). Only Agent 6 live forward-tracking can validate whether news_adj improves outcomes. Treat news as a bounded refinement on trial, not a proven driver.
  • Fundamentals are annual with a 60-day reporting lag; EV/EBITDA is the valuation metric (P/E broke on 45 loss-year rows). Valuation reads are slow-moving, not point-in-time precise.
Percentile within this ticker's own 7-year fundamental history. High = expensive vs itself.

Earnings Surprise Track Record COMMODITY
Canonical signal: avoid-misses is the durable edge (misses lag the basket ~4%/21d excess); beats merely match the sector once drift is stripped. Regime-dependent, effectively small-sample — not proven.

News Lean UNPROVEN LIVE — UNPROVEN LIVE-ONLY: no historical validation possible
● neutral near 2026-08-12
34% pre-earnings run-up sets a high bar; $10.3B options-implied swing is binary – validates AI optics demand thesis or reveals execution gaps; elevated expectations already baked in.
source ↗
▲ bullish near 2026-08-05
Guidance raise above prior analyst expectations is the key catalyst; strong AI data center optics demand and record backlog confirm structural demand; +15% on the day suggests the raise was not anticipated — genuine positive surprise.
source ↗
▲ bullish near 2026-08-03
Management pre-guided Q4 above street — a high-confidence signal; stock already up 13.1% on the guidance alone; Aug 12 actual results need to meet or exceed raised bar; risk is that 13.1% pre-run means upside already captured; CHIPS Act $50M LOI and record AI optics backlog confirm structural demand thesis.
source ↗
▲ bullish long 2026-07-31
Market priced COHR as a cyclical optical components maker; CHIPS Act support validates it as critical AI infrastructure — federal backing de-risks the capacity expansion that bears flagged as a margin risk
source ↗
▲ bullish long 2026-07-24
PT raise to $435 implies meaningful step-up in analyst conviction; co-packaged optics is structural upgrade cycle for AI networking that sell-side was slow to fully model
