CAPS Rating:
**

A supplier of photonics-based solutions in a broad range of commercial and scientific research applications. Designs, manufactures and markets lasers, laser-based systems, precision optics and related accessories.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Admittedly, I don't know much about the company. I'm bearish mainly due to pessimism that they won't grow sales and generate profits to maintain that 100+ P/E ratio.

Listed on top 100 green companies list. This balance sheet looks ready. The customer base is so diverse they can reach across sectors. The need for their technology is most obvious in older companies and governments entities. There is a need for this technology and the a co. looks solid on its balance sheet.

This laser company is doing some innovative laser work in Germany at the present time with only one major competitor, Excel Technology (XLTC). COHR was not permitted to buy out the German subsidiary of XTLC; however, they are taking charge nonetheless.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
