For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals.
Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.
Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
New York-based Corning Incorporated started out as a glass business that was reincorporated in 1936. The company has since developed its glass technologies to produce advanced glass substrates that are used in a large number of applications across multiple markets. Corning reports results under six operating segments.
GLW boasts a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of B, and holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) rating. Shares of Corning are trading at a forward earnings multiple of 17.7X, as well as a PEG Ratio of 1.1, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 11.6X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 2.7X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, three analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for GLW, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.01 to $2.34 per share. GLW also holds an average earnings surprise of 3.3%.
GLW should be on investors' short lists because of its impressive earnings and valuation fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and strong Value and VGM Style Scores.
