Optical communications drives expansion
Optical Communications generated third-quarter sales of 2.38 billion US dollars, up 44 percent from a year earlier. Enterprise Networks sales increased 84 percent, while sales of generative artificial intelligence products more than doubled year over year, according to the company.
Corning also reported GAAP sales of 4.86 billion US dollars and GAAP diluted earnings per share of 0.78 US dollars. Core figures are non-GAAP measures; the company said the main difference between GAAP and core earnings per share reflected hedged exposures and discrete tax items.
Next test is fourth-quarter delivery
Management expects fourth-quarter core sales of 5.2 billion to 5.3 billion US dollars, representing approximately 19 percent year-over-year growth. Core earnings per share are projected at 0.96 to 1.00 US dollars, or approximately 36 percent growth.
The outlook leaves execution in Optical Communications, capacity expansion and demand from AI data-center customers as the main issues for investors to monitor. Corning also said it secured four long-term, multibillion-dollar customer agreements in the third quarter, including agreements with Verizon and AT&T.
