Coherent Corp.’s stock COHR, -0.67% jumped 3.2% premarket Tuesday, after the materials, networking and lasers company said it has concluded a review of its silicon carbide business and will receive $1 billion in investments from Denso Corp. 6902, +3.15% and Mitsubishi Electric Corp. 6503, +2.69%. The Japanese companies will invest $500 million each and receive a 12.5% non-controlling stake in Pittsburgh-based Coherent.
