As of January 1, 2025, Honeywell reorganized its business segments, moving the Automotive Glass Solutions business from the Hemlock and Emerging Growth Businesses into the newly formed Automotive segment, where it is now managed alongside Environmental Technologies.
Display Technologies' sales grew by&nbsp;4% Y/Y&nbsp;to&nbsp;$905&nbsp;million.&nbsp;Optical Communications sales increased by&nbsp;46% Y/Y&nbsp;to&nbsp;$1.355 billion,&nbsp;led by continued strong adoption of Corning's new Gen AI products.
In Optical Communications, Enterprise business sales rose 106% Y/Y, led by strong demand for the new Gen AI products.
Specialty Materials sales rose&nbsp;10% Y/Y&nbsp;to&nbsp;$501&nbsp;million in the quarter. Life Sciences sales fell&nbsp;1% Y/Y&nbsp;to&nbsp;$234 million.
Hemlock and Emerging Growth Businesses sales decreased&nbsp;11% Y/Y to&nbsp;$244 million in the quarter.
The core gross margin was&nbsp;37.9% in the quarter, an improvement of 110-basis-point year-over-year.
Outlook: In the second quarter, the company expects to grow core sales to around $3.85 billion (vs. the consensus of $3.82 billion) and increase core EPS significantly faster than sales, in a range of $0.55-$0.59<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> (vs. the </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">street view of $0.56)</a>.
The guidance reflects the impact of currently enacted tariffs of around $0.01-$0.02, along with a $0.03 temporary increase in cost to meet increased demand for Gen AI and solar products.
Wendell P. Weeks, chairman and chief executive officer, said,&nbsp;&#8220;We remain confident in our ability to deliver our&nbsp;Springboard plan. We&#8217;re well positioned to maintain momentum despite a dynamic external environment because our growth is underpinned by powerful secular trends that are underway today.&#8221;

What to Expect from Corning's Earnings

As Washington cranks up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">the tariff pressure</a>, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) may have already played its smartest card: doubling down on India for assembly and investing deeper into U.S. component suppliers.
While the idea of building iPhones in America sounds good on paper, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee warns it's not that simple.
&#8220;The U.S. currently grapples with infrastructure and workforce limitations,&#8221; he notes &#8211; the same key ingredients that helped China become the manufacturing powerhouse it is today. Chatterjee estimates that entirely shifting iPhone assembly to the U.S. could trigger a painful 30% price increase for consumers if a 20% tariff on China is implemented.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple&#8217;s Best Move: Expand In India</h2>
Rather than chasing a moonshot strategy, Chatterjee believes Apple's best move is to turbocharge what it's already doing: expand in India. &#8220;Scaling further in India to address all local U.S. demand makes the most sense,&#8221; he argues, pointing to India's large skilled workforce, favorable government policies, and the ability to scale efficiently without blowing up costs.
That doesn't mean Apple will ignore the U.S. altogether. Instead, it is expected to invest more heavily in U.S.-based component makers. According to Chatterjee, this could include processors from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) Arizona fabs, display glass from Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>), and optical sensors from suppliers like Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) and Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>) &#8211; allowing Apple to meet political pressure without wrecking its margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is The &#8216;Made-In-America&#8217; iPhone A Distant Dream?</h2>
A fully &#8216;Made-in-America&#8217; iPhone remains a distant dream. But a &#8220;Made-in-India, Powered-by-U.S.-Components&#8221; iPhone? That's the more likely—and smarter—reality as Apple looks to stay ahead in a world where geopolitics are increasingly shaping tech strategy.

Shares of electronics and communication equipment stocks are trading lower amid overall tech weakness as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Corning's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>) short percent of float has fallen 22.95% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.66 million shares sold short, which is 1.41% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.48 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Corning has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Corning's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Corning's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.04%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
