  1. Lumentum Holdings has entered into an agreement to snap up Coherent in a cash and stock deal valued at $5.7 billion. Coherent shares rose almost 2% in Wednesday’s pre-market session after closing 30% higher on Tuesday.

    The deal is expected to help Lumentum (LITE) enhance its footprint in the more than $10 billion market for lasers and photonics outside of communications and 3D sensing.
