Corning's Q3 Outlook Boosted by AI Data-Center Demand, Oppenheimer Says

Corning (GLW) issued Q3 guidance above estimates, supported by strong demand for optical products used in AI data centers, Oppenheimer said Wednesday in a report.On Tuesday, Corning forecast Q3 core sales of $4.9 billion to $5 billion and earnings of $0.85 and $0.89 a share, both above expectations, Oppenheimer said.In Q2, core sales rose 17% to $4.74 billion, above the FactSet consensus of $4.63 billion, while core earnings climbed to $0.78, topping the $0.76 estimate, the report said.Enterprise-network sales jumped 65% as generative-AI-related revenue doubled, while the optical segment posted a record net margin of 21%, Oppenheimer said. Corning expects similar enterprise-network growth in Q3 "as customer demand continues to exceed supply," the report said.Oppenheimer cut its price target to $200 from $230 to reflect "volatility" in AI capital spending and reiterated its outperform rating.Price: $124.12, Change: $-1.90, Percent Change: -1.50%

Corning's Long-Term Growth Visibility Underappreciated, UBS Says

Corning (GLW) shares' recent selloff is overdone, as the company's optical margins and long-term earnings visibility remain stronger than the market is giving credit for, UBS said in a note emailed Wednesday.The firm said Corning's approach of locking in more long-term offtake contracts could limit near-term margin expansion but provides greater stability in earnings growth, adding that the de-rating in the stock has made valuation more attractive relative to its growth outlook.UBS trimmed its 2027 and 2028 EPS estimates by about 3% and 9%, respectively, to take a more conservative view on the timing and scale of the company's photonics and scale-up ramp, though its estimates remain above consensus.UBS maintained a buy rating on the stock but lowered its price target to $196 from $228.Price: $125.26, Change: $-0.76, Percent Change: -0.60%
