<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.corning.com%2Fworldwide%2Fen.html&amp;esheet=54124384&amp;newsitemid=20240918594823&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Corning+Incorporated&amp;index=1&amp;md5=428e64b43c9d60ea476cf7923800b0b0">Corning Incorporated</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>) will host a meeting today at its optical fiber facility in Concord, North Carolina, with investors and industry analysts to provide significant updates to its "Springboard" plan to add more than $3 billion in annualized sales with strong incremental profit and cash flow in the next three years.
Wendell P. Weeks, chairman and chief executive officer, said,"I'm very pleased with the progress we have made on our ‘Springboard' plan to add more than $3 billion in annualized sales by 2026. The plan leads to an improving return profile, with profits growing significantly faster than sales. Today, we are sharing our Springboard operating-margin target of 20% by the end of 2026."
Weeks continued, "We are implementing price increases in Display Technologies and expect to deliver segment net income of $900 million to $950 million in 2025, and to maintain net income margin of 25%. Additionally, our positive momentum in Optical Communications continues – Enterprise sales are expected to grow by more than 40% year over year in the third quarter, driven by the continued strong adoption of our generative AI products."
Ed Schlesinger, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "Our second-quarter results and third-quarter guidance put us well ahead of our ‘Springboard' plan run rate. In the third quarter, we continue to expect sales of $3.7 billion and EPS of $0.50 to $0.54."
Today, Corning management will lead investors through a tour of the company's – and the world's – largest and lowest cost optical-fiber production facility. During the visit, leadership will highlight the company's unique competitive advantage and industry and technology leadership – which enables Corning to capture the significant growth opportunity outlined in its Springboard plan.

Corning Provides Update On Key Milestones In 'Springboard' Plan To Add More Than $3B In Annualized Sales, And Shares Operating-Margin Target Of 20% By End Of 2026; Sees Q3 Expected Sales Of $3.7B (Est. $3.71B); And EPS Of $0.50-$0.54 (Est. $0.53)

Mizuho Upgrades Corning to Outperform, Raises Price Target to $47

Corning's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>) short percent of float has fallen 22.02% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.49 million shares sold short, which is 1.7% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.51 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Corning has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Corning's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Corning's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.02%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
Examining transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often concentrate on those unfolding in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Specialty Materials sales increased by 18% year over year to $501 million, driven by continued strong demand for premium smartphone cover materials and semiconductor-related products.&nbsp;
Life Sciences sales increased by 8% year over year to $249 million.
Environmental Technologies sales declined by 6%&nbsp;year over year&nbsp;to $431 million, reflecting the impact of the Class 8 truck downcycle in North America.
Hemlock and Emerging Growth Businesses sales declined 21%&nbsp;year over year&nbsp;to $296 million, primarily reflecting lower pricing for solar-grade polysilicon.
The core gross margin increased by 170 bps to 37.9%. The adjusted free cash flow was $353 million versus $310 million a year ago.
Chair and CEO Wendell P. Weeks said, &#8220;The outperformance was driven primarily by the strong adoption of our new optical connectivity products for generative AI, which drove record sales in the Enterprise portion of our Optical Communications business. The opportunity is only growing; in fact, in the third quarter, we reached an agreement with Lumen Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>) that uses our new gen-AI fiber and cable system to facilitate Lumen&#8217;s build of a new network to interconnect AI-enabled data centers.&#8221;
Outlook: Corning expects third-quarter core sales of $3.70 billion (consensus $3.75 billion) and core EPS of $0.50 – $0.54 (consensus $0.54).
Price Action: GLW shares traded lower by 8.6% at $38.99 at last check Tuesday.
