Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) has surged to the top of buy lists for hedge funds following the announcement of a multi-year strategic agreement with NVIDIA. Under the deal, the latter is investing $2 billion into Coherent to expand its R&D and US-based manufacturing capacity. Hedge funds are also betting on Coherent’s leadership in silicon photonics and co-packaged optics, which NVIDIA views as essential for the next generation of AI factories. This partnership effectively locks in Coherent as the primary supplier for NVIDIA’s 2027–2028 hardware roadmap. In its Q2 fiscal 2026 results, Coherent proved it could monetize the AI cycle more effectively than peers. Revenue hit $1.7 billion, beating analyst estimates. This was driven by unprecedented demand for optical networking products in the Datacenter Communications segment.
