As of the September 2, 2026 close, COHR finished 11.30% below its 150-day moving average ($306.69) and 0.88% below its 200-day moving average ($274.45). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is COHR overbought or oversold?
At the September 2, 2026 close, COHR's RSI(14) was 26.7, in oversold territory (below 30). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
The company holds $1.99B in cash, though total debt stands at $3.55B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company is burning cash, with free cash flow at -$650.0M. This typically occurs when a company is investing aggressively in growth, but sustained cash burn can strain the balance sheet. Return on equity stands at 8.0%, which is modest for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 3.4% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has grown from $5.16B (2023) to $7.12B (2026), reflecting a 38% increase over the period.
A beta of 2.10 means COHR is more volatile than average. Investors should be prepared for wider price swings relative to broader indices. The company is burning cash at the operating level, which is not unusual for growth-phase companies but adds risk if it persists. The elevated P/E ratio means the stock is priced for significant future growth. If earnings disappoint, the price correction could be sharp. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing COHR's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
