Market Focus08-07 15:13

On August 7, Corning rose 3.05% overnight, trading at 161.97 USD/share, with Turnover of 6.2158 million USD, extending its multi-day rebound trajectory.

On the news front, the U.S. optical communications sector continued to strengthen, creating broad sector linkage. Coherent rose over 5%, Lumen Technologies gained 5%, and Lumentum climbed 2%. Additionally, Truist Securities previously upgraded Corning from Hold to Buy, setting a price target of 175 USD. The analyst noted that following a roughly 45% sharp correction in July, Corning's valuation has returned to reasonable levels, with EPS projected to grow at a 30% compound annual growth rate through 2029, suggesting further upside from current levels.

Corning's Q2 core sales rose 17% to 4.74 billion USD, beating consensus, while enterprise-network sales jumped 65% as generative-AI-related revenue doubled. UBS maintained a Buy rating, noting the recent selloff was overdone given the company's optical margins and long-term earnings visibility.
