What Does Amphenol Offer That Coherent Does Not?

Coherent (COHR) and Amphenol (APH) both sell connections inside AI data centers, but Coherent relies on that business more. Data center and communications made 79% of Coherent's latest quarterly revenue. At Amphenol, sales from IT datacom made up 43% of Q2 2026 sales, and communications networks another 11%. At 68.6 times the past twelve months of profit, Coherent's price makes sense only if its orders become sales and cash. So what does Amphenol offer you that Coherent does not.
