On August 5, Corning rose 3.11% overnight, trading at $164.98/share, with turnover of $8.21 million, extending its recent rebound momentum.

On the news front, Truist Securities upgraded Corning from Hold to Buy, setting a price target of $175, which still implies upside from current levels. 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. Additionally, UBS emphasized that Corning's strategy of locking in long-term offtake contracts provides greater earnings growth stability, while Oppenheimer highlighted Q3 guidance above estimates supported by strong AI data-center optical product demand.

Meanwhile, the U.S. optical communications sector continued to rally collectively, with Coherent up 4.61% and Lumentum also posting notable gains in recent sessions, forming a broad sector linkage that further supported Corning's upward movement.
