On July 24, Corning fell 3.47% in regular trading, trading at $149.91/share, with turnover of $143 million. The stock gave back gains after two consecutive sessions of rebound, resuming its downward trajectory from late June highs.

The decline was driven by a broad-based retreat across the optical communications sector, with peer Coherent falling 7.41% on the same day, dragging down individual names. Corning is scheduled to report Q2 earnings before market open on July 28, with consensus estimates calling for adjusted EPS of $0.75-$0.76 and revenue of $4.63 billion. Morgan Stanley previously noted that the upcoming report is unlikely to deliver upside surprises, while the stock's cumulative pullback of approximately 40% from its late-June peak has meaningfully improved its valuation. The firm highlighted optical business capacity ramp as the key catalyst for the second half. With the earnings window imminent, bull-bear divergence has intensified, and the outcome of results will directly determine subsequent price direction.
