Coherent10-Q: Inventory issue

Operating cash flow dropped by $236M YoY, primarily due to a significant increase in inventory levels.

What happened

Coherent's cash from operations decreased from $340M to $104M year-over-year, a pain point attributed mainly to rising inventories. This strain on working capital suggests potential challenges in inventory management, demand forecasting, or supply chain efficiency that may require new technology solutions.
