Sell signals show what the stock did after the AI exited. A negative number means the AI's exit was well-timed.

Buffett-style framework

Too hard to callas of Oct 18

The AI ETFs are trimming COHR: AMOM has cut its weight in three consecutive steps from 1.58% to 1.28%, and AIEQ has gone from 0.13% to 0.12%, with LQAI holding a small 0.11% position. This partial exit agrees with the Too Hard verdict in direction, but the AIs are probably reacting to momentum and valuation signals rather than to any judgment about whether the business can be modelled.

  • Circle of CompetenceCoherent sells lasers, optical components and datacom transceivers whose demand swings with AI data-center build-outs, and a history of large acquisitions and shifting end markets make ten-year unit economics hard to project.
  • Economic Moat
  • Management
  • Financial Health
  • Margin of Safety

The framework stops at the circle of competence because the earning power of a fast-changing optical and laser supplier tied to AI capex cannot be reliably projected over ten years. The valuation (60x earnings, 39x EV/EBITDA, 8.4% ROE) would likely have offered no margin of safety anyway, but the stages after the first are not formally scored.
