Daily Stock Pick: Corning Inc.
A new portfolio of stocks I started building last Tuesday, September 8, named Vista, will select its second stock this coming weekend. Vista is the sixth portfolio I've built (at a one dividend dog per-week pace) since 2014. Six portfolios = VI for Vista!
Vista is planned to Look Ahead for Outstanding, Proven, Dividend Winners. (Like Aristocrats)
Today we'll review the second of five Technology sector stock candidates vying to be the second selection in the Vista portfolio.
My subject today is an electronic components company named, Corning, Inc. Its trading ticker symbol is GLW. This is my first report on Corning Inc. (GLW) for my new Vista portfolio.I did look at it several times for my previous Volio Portfolio.
Corning is a leading supplier of advanced glass substrates used in LCDs, optical fiber, ceramic substrates, and a variety of other materials science products. Corning operates in five segments: display technologies, optical communications, environmental technologies, specialty materials, and life sciences. The company’s operations and geographic reach span the globe, with most of Corning’s revenue generated in Asia-Pacific.
Corning Incorporated has a strategic collaboration with Intel Corporation to accelerate the availability of 5G in buildings.
The company was formerly known as Corning Glass Works and changed its name to Corning Incorporated in April 1989. Corning Incorporated was founded in 1851 and is headquartered in Corning, New York.
I use three key data points to gauge dividend equities or funds like Corning Inc. (GLW):
(1) Price
(2) Dividends
(3) Returns
Those three basic keys best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money.
GLW Price
Corning's price per share closed at $32.74 yesterday. A year ago its price was $30.16. Price rose $2.58 or just over 8.5% last year.
If Corning's stock trades in the range of $15 to $40 this next year, its recent $32.74 price might rise by $2.36 to reach $35.00 by September 15, 2021.
GLW Dividends
Corning's most recently declared quarterly dividend was $0.22 payable September 30th and will total $0.88 annually and yield 2.69% at yesterday's $32.74 closing price.
GLW Gains?
Adding the $0.88 annual anticipated dividend to my $2.36 optimistic estimate of Corning's price upside shows a $3.24 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade the shares.
If we put little over $1,000.00 today in Corning Inc. at $32.74, we would buy 31 shares of GLW stock.
A $10 broker fee paid half at purchase and half at sale could cost us about $0.32 per share.
Subtract that $0.32 brokerage cost from my estimated $3.24 gross gain per share results in a net gain of $2.92 X 31 shares = $90.52 for a 9% net gain on a $1,014.94 investment.
Thus, Corning Inc. (GLW) shows a possible 9% net gain including a 2.69% dividend yield. It could be more, it could be less.
All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Corning Inc. (GLW). Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its worth.
