Coherent stock: what to watch Tuesday after bondable diamond cooling launch

New York, Jan 19, 2026, 19:57 EST — Market closed Coherent Corp’s shares ended Friday at $191.04, dropping about 2.5%. The photonics supplier will likely draw renewed focus as U.S. markets resume after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, driven by its rollout of a new thermal-management product line. (FinanceCharts) The pitch is losing steam. With chips running hotter in data centers, power electronics, and laser systems, investors are zeroing in on suppliers that can effectively pull heat away from the die.

Infineon stock slides 3% as Trump’s Greenland tariff threat rattles auto suppliers

Frankfurt, Jan 20, 2026, 01:41 CET — The market has closed. Infineon Technologies shares slipped 3.09%, ending Monday at 40.635 euros on Xetra. The chipmaker is set to report its next earnings on Feb. 4. (Investing.com) This shift is significant since Infineon occupies a central spot in Europe’s auto supply chain.
