Coherent Eyes Core Growth Markets Following Defense Unit Sale
On Wednesday, Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) agreed to sell its Aerospace and Defense business to Advent, a private equity investor, for $400 million. Proceeds will be used to reduce debt and will be immediately accretive to Coherent's EPS. Coherent's Aerospace and Defense designs and manufactures optical and laser systems for defense applications. The business includes approximately 550 employees and 10 geographic sites.'We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Advent. As part of our strategic portfolio optimization process, this transaction furthers our strategy to concentrate efforts on core growth markets and products,' said Jim Anderson, CEO of Coherent. The deal is expected to close in the current quarter. During the earnings call, Anderson said the decision to sell the business was made because it was not aligned with the company's long-term strategic focus areas and did not support long-term financial targets. View more earnings on COHR Coherent reported quarterly earnings of $1 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 91 cents. Revenue came in at $1.52 billion, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.5 billion and is up from revenue of $1.31 billion from the same period last year. Outlook Coherent expects first-quarter revenue to be between $1.46 billion and $1.6 billion. On the earnings call, CEO Anderson said the current tariff policy remains unchanged from last quarter and is not expected to have a significant impact this quarter. 'Though we do not have full details yet, we believe President Trump's recent announcement regarding semiconductor tariffs may present a competitive advantage for our business,' Anderson noted. The semiconductor exemption covers many of the company's products, such as transceivers, and with U.S. manufacturing operations, the company expects it could avoid the semiconductor tariff. Analysts' Reaction Bank of America Securities downgraded Coherent from Buy to Neutral while raising its price forecast from $92 to $105.

Deadline Alert: SelectQuote, Inc. (SLQT) Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP About Securities Fraud Lawsuit
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired SelectQuote, Inc. ('SelectQuote' or the 'Company') (NYSE: SLQT) securities between September 9, 2020 and May 1, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'). IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR SELECTQUOTE INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. What Happened? On May 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice ('DOJ') filed a False Claims Act complaint against SelectQuote, alleging, '[f]rom 2016 through at least 2021' SelectQuote received 'tens of millions of dollars' in 'illegal kickbacks' from health insurance companies in exchange for steering Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in the insurers' plans. Further, SelectQuote, in exchange for kickbacks, engaged in a conspiracy with major insurers to illegally discriminate against beneficiaries deemed to be less profitable, including those with disabilities. The DOJ concluded that SelectQuote made materially false claims by stating it offers 'unbiased coverage comparisons' when in fact it 'repeatedly directed Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that paid them the most money, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers' plans.' On this news, SelectQuote's stock price fell $0.61, or 19.2%, to close at $2.56 per share on May 1, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company was directing Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that best compensated SelectQuote, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers' plans; (2) that SelectQuote did not provide unbiased comparison shopping for Medicare Advantage insurance plans; (3) that SelectQuote received illegal kickbacks to steer Medicare beneficiaries to certain insurers and limit enrollment in competitors' plans; (4) that as a result, SelectQuote had not complied with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual provisions; (5) that SelectQuote was vulnerable to regulatory and legal sanctions as a result of its conduct, including claims that it had violated the False Claims Act; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. If you purchased or otherwise acquired SelectQuote securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than October 10, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.
