Corning Inc. (NYSE: GLW) is enjoying a very good year. While its stock price is up nearly 30% year to date, nearly doubling the S&P 500’s return, its impressive run looks to continue for some time yet, judging by its recently reported third-quarter results. While its core sales and core EPS growth were modest on the surface, at 6% and 2%, respectively, closer inspection reveals a lot for Corning shareholders to be excited about.
