What's Next for Corning?
While Corning has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Corning was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.63 on $3.99 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.35 on $15.53 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari told the Wall Street Journal in an interview released on Monday that it was appropriate to discuss potentially lowering U.S. interest rates in September due to the increasing likelihood of a weakening labor market. “The balance of risks has shifted, so the debate about potentially cutting rates in September is an appropriate one to have,” he said. Kashkari stated inflation was making progress, but the labor market was exhibiting “concerning signs,” according to the Journal. Also, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly told the Financial Times in an interview published on Sunday that recent U.S. economic data have provided her “more confidence” that inflation is under control and it is time to consider adjusting benchmark borrowing costs. Daly advocated for a “prudent” approach to policy, dismissing concerns about the risk of a sharp slowdown in the U.S. economy.
Meanwhile, investors are awaiting the Federal Reserve’s minutes from the July meeting on Wednesday and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on Friday to gain further clarity on the outlook for rate cuts.
