Great company, lousy stock. Given the economies around the world, it is trading just about where it belongs.

There is nothing like a "lousy stock" - it is the company which counts. Second, I would look at the PEG before I say something like this. It is 0.93. All IPADS and IPhones use gorilla glas. They reported well and guided ok. I think there is still upside.

No position but was thinking about it.

Well, we do not have to pull each others hair out over this. I am currently more interested in energy stocks actually and materials.

Great company with a history of innovation, an undervalued stock, a reasonable yield, and lots of upside - just needs some patience.

"About 85% of Corning's profits are tied to the display glass typically found in TVs and personal computers, as well as smartphones and tablet computers, even though the segment accounts for only 45% of revenue."

That is all you really need to know. Big glass is headed for inevitable commodity status and will, over time, turn out less profit even when the supply chain revives. It doesn't mean you can't invest in Corning but the discount on the PE is rational.
