Coherent Commences Review of Strategic Alternatives for Its Lithium Sulfur Battery Platform

COHR
September 21, 2025
Coherent Corp. announced it is evaluating strategic alternatives for its battery technology platform, which includes a suite of cathode, electrolyte, and cell technologies. This review follows a strategic portfolio assessment completed in August 2024. The platform is built around breakthrough sulfur immobilization technology, which has achieved industry-leading performance in battery cells. These innovations have received funding awards from the U.S. Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Office and IARPA, and are protected by 4 issued and 13 pending patents. The company stated it does not anticipate making further public comments until a material development occurs. This move indicates a focus on core business areas and a potential divestiture of non-strategic assets.
