This summary was created by AI, based on 14 opinions in the last 12 months.

Corning Inc (GLW) has garnered attention due to its strong position in the optical fiber market, driven by rising demand from data centers and AI-related technologies. Experts acknowledge Corning's essential role in transitioning from traditional copper connectivity to fiber optics, particularly with significant contracts from companies like Apple and Meta. However, many analysts express caution regarding its current valuation, trading at around 60x PE, which they find steep given the need for substantiated economic benefits from AI investments. While the general outlook remains positive due to robust growth projections and strategic deals, several experts recommend a conservative approach to investing at present levels, suggesting potential price corrections before committing more capital. Ultimately, while Corning's long-term prospects are optimistic, short-term price volatility raises questions about the timing of investments.

PAST TOP PICK

(A To Pick April 12/13. Down 3.98%.)

DON'T BUY

This is a stock that looks very appealing as it is trading at a very low multiple but what is happening is that glass is becoming commoditized and margins are getting squeezed.

TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 11/12, Down 10.51%) Play on smart phone and tablet world. He likes it because every one of its major markets are bottom of the cycle. Buy back, tons of cash. All divisions should recover by 2-3 years. Expecting a recovery in consumer demand including housing demand, and suspects TV sales will slowly improve. 3% dividend and a buy back. He would be buying all the way up to $13. The bottom has been hit on TV sales, which is the headlines that this one moves to.

DON'T BUY

Not one of his favourite companies. Issue is commodity. There are only 3 competitors on the glass side but they tend to beat each other up on margins. Corning is tied to flat screen televisions and they have not grown in sales recently. There is not much chance of growth. Apple is notorious for not letting the supplier take the margin and keeping it for themselves.

DON'T BUY

Thinks there is more downside to come. This is driven by consumer demand for TVs etc.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick July 8/11, Down 35%) He reduced the position when it fell out of the S&P 100. Model $ 23.71, 107% upside. But he believes Corning will end up at around the $9 level. It will re-invent itself again.

SELL
This is a company that you would think should do very, very well but they can't seem to get out of their own way. Good products and seemed to be at the sweet spot of the technology cycle but it is just tough for them.

COMMENT
You would think with all the smart phones and tablets that are being marketed that they would be doing better. Stock seems to continually being bumping along. He would prefer Cirrus Logic (CRUS-Q) which does all of the sound chips for the iPhone and iPad.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Having trouble getting out of its own way. This is something that should do well because of the amount of glass that they are producing both for tablets and for LED TVs. Product is being commoditized, which is eating into their margins.
WATCH
They make the screens for LCD TVs and there has been weak demand for the last year or 2. It probably is undervalued because it is a cyclical name. Starting to see some stabilization in supply/demand in the last quarter. In fact continues and we see an improvement consumer demand and confidence, she expects there will be an upward movement.
DON'T BUY
Cheap in terms of valuation back strikes him as a bit of a value trap because it is having trouble getting traction. Putting out lots of glass because the new LD technology has twice the glass of the ordinary TV.
TOP PICK
LCD’s, which is everything from cell phones through to TVs through to screens. That business is currently having a pretty tough time but market is starting to rationalize supply, which will be good for the story. Into a joint venture with Samsung and ultimately any earnings will be 100% credited to earnings. Also make fibre-optic cable and the telecom business will do really well. Fortress balance sheet. Very cheap.
