Second-Quarter 2026 Outlook:

  • For the second quarter, management expects to grow core sales about 14% year over year to approximately $4.6 billion and core EPS about 25% year over year to a range of $0.73-$0.77.
    • Second-quarter guidance includes an extended maintenance shutdown at Corning's solar wafer facility, including the transition to a permanent power system while the company repairs, upgrades, and modifies production equipment to increase throughput in future quarters. This will cause an additional $30 million of expense in Q2 versus Q1 and is included in guidance.
