On August 17, Corning rose 3.44% in regular trading, trading at $171.55/share, with turnover of $381 million.

On the news front, the optical communications sector continued its broad-based rebound, with peer Coherent surging nearly 6% and Lumentum having gained over 8.6% in a prior session, lifting Corning in sympathy. The sector has maintained an upward recovery trajectory following a period of sharp correction.

In terms of background, after experiencing an approximately 45% pullback in July, Corning received a rating upgrade to Buy from Truist Securities with a $175 price target. The analyst noted that the current valuation has returned to a reasonable level and projected earnings per share growing at a 30% compound annual growth rate through 2029. The upgrade continues to provide valuation support for the stock, which still retains upside to the target price at current levels.
