We’re shopping for 80 shares of Corning at roughly $87. After the commerce, the Belief will personal 520 shares of GLW, rising its weighting to about 1.2% from about 1%. We’re additionally shopping for 10 shares of Meta Platforms at roughly $631, rising our place to 250 shares of META and its portfolio weighting to about 4.15% from about 4%. Forward of Wednesday night’s earnings, we’re locking in earnings on Cisco Methods with a small trim and downgrading it to our 2 ranking. After falling to about $66 per share within the days after its earlier earnings launch , the inventory of this networking and safety firm has rebounded to almost $72. CSCO YTD mountain Cisco Methods YTD We’re nonetheless upbeat about Cisco’s synthetic intelligence infrastructure alternatives with hyperscaler, enterprise, and sovereign clients, however the final quarter had some hair on it, with safety income lacking large as a result of weak point in its U.S. federal authorities enterprise. We’re taking just a little off right here, simply in case safety turns right into a multi-quarter drawback. Additionally, administration has a historical past of working towards UPOD — or under-promising and over-delivering — which we like, however generally that causes the inventory to get dinged on conservative steerage. From this sale, we’ll understand a small achieve of about 6% on inventory bought in July 2025. GLW YTD mountain Corning YTD We’re taking the money proceeds from the Cisco sale so as to add to our positions in Corning and Meta Platforms. Corning reported an incredible quarter on Oct. 28. The inventory truly fell about 7% in premarket buying and selling to $83 that morning after not beating “lofty expectations” and delivering a income miss in its key optical communications section. We instantly identified after we purchased shares that the miss was as a result of sluggish gross sales to telecom clients and never from enterprise clients. Gross sales to enterprise clients have been up 58% 12 months over 12 months, and we expect that momentum will proceed as knowledge heart operators improve their use of fiber connections as a substitute of copper to attach AI nodes.

The latest selloff has lowered Meta’s price-to-earnings a number of on 2026 estimates to about 21 instances, which is definitely cheaper than the broader S & P 500 . It is our first Meta purchase since June 2022, which was across the time when shares have been sliding as a result of considerations about overspending on the metaverse.
