On August 12, Corning rose 5.84% in regular trading, trading at $169.2/share, with turnover of $57.78 million.
On the news front, the optical communications sector experienced a broad pullback the prior session, with peer Coherent declining over 11%. Today the sector staged a rebound, with Coherent rising 7.5% and Corning leading the recovery. Separately, Truist Securities recently upgraded Corning from Hold to Buy, setting a target price of $175. The analyst noted that following an approximately 45% pullback in July, Corning's valuation has returned to reasonable levels, with earnings per share projected to grow at a 30% compound annual growth rate through 2029. The current share price still implies meaningful upside relative to the target, and the rating upgrade continues to provide sustained support for the stock.
