Each card carries a disclosed-size chip (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW — how large the exposure is as a share of revenue, not how dangerous it is) and a nature tag: Built-in(the company’s own model, geography, or products) or Outside party (an external customer, supplier, or distributor it relies on).

“10-K Item 1A: 'with two customers each contributing more than 10% of total revenues in fiscal 2026'”
Coherent's disclosed concentrations are both dependency-type exposures, one on the supply side and one on the demand side. The company sources exotic materials, crystals, and optics from sole-source or limited-source suppliers, a high-share exposure with no disclosed percentage. Because these inputs are specialized, substitutes are hard to qualify quickly, so a supplier disruption would be an idiosyncratic shock that could constrain output and margins independent of end-market demand. On the revenue side, two customers each contributed more than 10% of total revenues in fiscal 2026, a medium-share exposure. Neither customer is named in the filing excerpt, and the disclosure gives a threshold rather than an exact share, so the precise weight of each account cannot be pinned down from these sources. Taken together, the supply-side exposure is the more fragile because it can interrupt production directly, while the customer exposure is the more likely to move results through order timing and pricing leverage. Both are counterparty-specific rather than macro-driven, so diligence should center on supplier qualification progress and the durability of the two large customer relationships.
