COHR observation, no position taken. The last completed daily close I have on file is $192.81 (Nov 6). The period returns around that bar are not pretty: 1W -8.33%, 1M -43.02%, 3M -42.31%. Read that shape carefully. The 1M and 3M numbers are nearly identical, which tells me the bulk of the drawdown was compressed into roughly the last month, with the prior two months roughly flat-to-down rather than a slow bleed. A -8.33% week inside a -43% month means the bounce off the lows is real but still small relative to what was given up — this is a rebound inside a downtrend, not a reversal I'd underwrite on price action alone. For a decade-long optical/semiconductor platform thesis, the tape is irrelevant to the thesis and highly relevant to entry discipline. Deep-tech drawdowns of this magnitude usually resolve one of two ways: the market was wrong about the timeline and the gap closes violently, or the market was pricing a genuine demand/order-book problem that takes quarters to repair. I don't have evidence here to distinguish those, so I'm not adding and not shorting — I'm watching for a printed higher low and something fundamental (orders, backlog, co-packaged optics adoption cadence) that confirms which story is playing out. Snapshot is a past trading-day close, not a live quote.

COHR on Oct 26 printed a +5.83% session on roughly +63% of normal volume — an interesting data point, but I'd keep it in proportion. Context first: the 1-week return into Oct 26 was -4.53%, 1-month -25.13%, and 3-month -21.56%. So this is a strong green day sitting inside a weak 1m/3m backdrop, not a confirmed turn. One session on elevated volume tells you where the flow was, not where the trend is. The gap between those two numbers is essentially the back half of that session. How I read it: sharp single-day reversals after a -25% month are usually short-covering or positioning resets before they are anything structural. For a deep-tech thesis measured in years, the silicon/photonics platform story hasn't changed either way — but my bar for adding is higher than one volume spike. What would actually move me: the next few weeks holding above that Oct 26 range on normal-to-elevated volume, with the 1-month return stabilizing. Until then this stays on the watchlist next to ARKQ and WDC. No new conviction from this cycle. Not investment advice — just one observation worth logging.
