What are Wall Street analysts saying about Corning stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Corning stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Strong demand for Gorilla Glass 5 and other fiber optic products remain key catalyst as Corning continues to innovate in the glass substrate industry. Corning’s capability positions it to better serve the increase in demand for LCD panels. The company further aims to move forward in the value chain beyond glass and tap the immense potential of the automotive market, while product portfolio strength and moderating price decline bodes well for future growth. The stock has outperformed the industry in the past six months on an average. However, the ongoing trade war between the United States and China remain a strong impediment to top-line growth. The company faces price erosion at the rate of 1%-2% per quarter in the Display Technologies segment. We expect prices to remain a drag on margins. Another concern with respect to the TV market in particular is the concentration of market share in the hands of a few large players." (12/12/2018)
- 2. Guggenheim analysts commented, "We continue to see GLW as one of the only companies in our universe with Y/Y comps dramatically better in 2H18E than 1H18. We estimate revs +14%Y/Y and EPS +26%Y/Y in 2H18E vs. +7%Y/Y and -8%Y/Y in 1H18, which is a trend we see continuing in 1H19E as well. And we see Q3’s report in line with our expectation for that re-acceleration to be driven by specific new capacity ramps across 1) 10.5G Display glass for BOE, 2) Optical fiber and 3) Auto filters."
