GLW Guide Solar wafer restart / H2 margin normalization BETTER guide ~$0.07 drag fading in H2 vs. cons expecting lingering drag (H2'26) LOW
GLW Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +5.0% MEDIUM
GLW Return 5-day cumulative residual +6.5% (FOLLOW-THROUGH) Stock enters down ~44% from the June peak with froth already flushed, so the bar is reset. A clean beat-and-raise led by Optical (~$2.0B+) plus a Q3 guide that steps up as the solar drag rolls off should trigger a relief bounce, and sell-side (Oppenheimer $230, BofA $243) has framed the drop as an entry point, supporting positive follow-through. Tempered because the raise is modest and the biggest upside driver — scale-up/CPO — stays a 2028-2030 story, so out-period estimates barely move and AI-sentiment volatility caps the recovery. LOW
