Hoefer & Arnett Upgrades Rating on Coherent (COHR) From Hold to Buy

    SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hoefer and Arnett
technology analyst, Mark Miller, has upgraded Coherent from a hold to a buy.
Strength in the microelectronics area plus previous cost cutting efforts have
helped produce a rapid turnaround for Coherent. Despite a high tax rate, we
believe just modest mid-single digit revenue growth next year could produce
earnings in the $1.15 to $1.25 range for Coherent. As such, we now rate
Coherent a buy with a $32 one-year price target.

    Hoefer & Arnett Incorporated is a member of the National Association of
