Frequently asked questions
What is Corning Incorporated's revenue?
Corning Incorporated's trailing twelve-month revenue is $16.32B, and consensus projects about $31.40B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is GLW?
In its most recent fiscal year, GLW ran a gross margin of 35.28%, an operating margin of 14.91%, and a net margin of 10.21%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does GLW generate?
GLW produced $1.41B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is GLW's balance sheet healthy?
GLW holds $1.53B in cash and equivalents against $7.63B in long-term debt, on $11.81B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
