The European Commission has opened a formal investigation to assess whether Corning may have abused its dominant position on the worldwide market for a special type of glass that is mainly used to protect the screens of handheld electronic devices, such as mobile phones.
Corning, based in the US, is a global glass producer for many industrial and consumer applications. It produces Alkali-aluminosilicate glass (‘Alkali-AS Glass'), a particularly break-resistant glass mainly used as cover for displays of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, or smartwatches. Corning markets Alkali-AS Glass under the ‘Gorilla Glass' brand, among others.
The Commission has concerns that Corning may have distorted competition by concluding anti-competitive exclusive supply agreements with mobile phone manufacturers (Original Equipment Manufacturers or ‘OEMs') and with companies that process raw glass (‘finishers').
In particular, it appears that in its agreements with mobile OEMs Corning included:&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Exclusive sourcing obligations requiring OEMs to source all or nearly all of their Alkali-AS Glass demand from Corning.</li>
<li>Exclusivity rebates granting rebates to OEMs on the condition that they comply with the exclusive sourcing obligations.</li>
<li>‘English clauses' obliging OEMs to report to Corning on competitive offers, and allowing OEMs to accept that offer only if Corning fails to match the price.</li>
</ul>
Additionally, it appears that in its agreements with finishers Corning included:
<ul>
<li>Exclusive purchase obligations obliging finishers to purchase all or nearly all of their Alkali-AS Glass demand, or an important subtype of Alkali-AS Glass, from Corning.</li>
<li>No challenge clauses preventing finishers from challenging Corning's patents.</li>
</ul>
The Commission is concerned that the agreements that Corning put in place with OEMs and finishers may have excluded rival glass producers from large segments of the market, thereby reducing customer choice, increasing prices, and stifling innovation to the detriment of consumers worldwide.
If proven, the behaviour under investigation may breach EU competition rules, which prohibit the abuse of a dominant position (Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU')).
The Commission will now carry out its in-depth investigation as a matter of priority. The opening of a formal investigation does not prejudge its outcome.
In parallel to the opening of proceedings, the Commission has adopted a Preliminary Assessment summarising the main facts of the case and identifying its competition concerns. To address the Commission's con

Reported October 5, 2024 'European Commission Opens Antitrust Investigation Into Possible Anticompetitive Practices By Corning Over Cover Glass For Electronic Devices'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed a new round of trades that includes bets on billionaires Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk ahead of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Greene disclosed purchasing multiple stocks on Tuesday, with the trades all made on Nov. 1 and tracked on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene">Benzinga's Government Trades</a> page for the representative.
Here are the stocks bought by Greene, with each trade disclosed in a range of $1,000 to $15,000:
<ul>
<li>Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)</li>

<li>Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>)</li>

<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)</li>

<li>Hershey Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>)</li>
</ul>
Greene previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41266843/marjorie-taylor-greene-boosts-stock-portfolio-with-ai-exposure-buys-jpmorgan-and-this-hot-magnif">disclosed several trades</a> in October, which included buying some of the same stocks, including Berkshire Hathaway, Intel, Tesla and Meta Platforms. In September, Greene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41031499/marjorie-taylor-greene-stays-loyal-to-trump-keeps-djt-stock-buys-into-warren-buffetts-berkshire-in-l">also bought </a>Berkshire Hathaway and Intel shares.
In May, Greene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38611874/marjorie-taylor-greene-reveals-new-stock-trades-after-2-year-gap-berkshire-hathway-goldman-sachs">disclosed her first </a>stock purchases in several years, which included Berkshire Hathaway and Hershey shares.
Since May, Greene has been actively trading and adding to positions with a strong interest in technology companies and chip stocks.
Greene's latest positions could raise red flags similar to other investments as she is on the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation. The representative is also on the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce.
Knowledge of technology and cybersecurity deals could help several stocks held in her portfolio.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Greene could also be positioning her portfolio based on the 2024 presidential election, a race which sees the representative supporting Donald Trump.
Chip stocks and technology companies were among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r">the best performing </a>in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, Trump's first year in the White House previously. Energy stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41606114/10-s-p-500-stocks-were-worst-performers-in-first-year-of-trumps-presidency-will-they-sink-again">underperformed in 2017,</a> which could make Greene's buy of Duke Energy a bit of a surprise if she is betting on a Trump victory.
Tesla is expected to be a company that benefits from a Trump victory. Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed Trump for president and could have a role in Trump's White House.
Trump has spoken out against electric vehicles and wants to eliminate consumer tax breaks for EVs. Tesla could benefit from the elimination of subsidies and tax breaks as they could be more harmful to competitors in the electric vehicle space and not hurt Tesla as much as its peers.
While Greene has been actively buying stocks over the last several months, she has not reported selling her shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), the Trump co-founded media company that completed a SPAC merger earlier this year.
Greene disclosed buying Digital World Acquisition shares back in October 2021, the SPAC that took Trump&#8217;s media company public in March 2024.
The transaction was done with shares trading between $67.96 to $118.80. A tweet from UnusualWhales pins the purchase price at $94.20, meaning Greene is down significantly on her $15,000 to $50,000 purchase in the Trump-linked stock. Shares of DJT trade at $39.13 at the time of writing.
With the latest stock transactions, Greene increased her holdings in technology stocks along with placing bets on Buffett to continue powering Berkshire Hathaway as the stock trades near a $1 trillion market cap.
Not many can say that their investing portfolios are betting on Trump, Musk and Buffett, but Greene can.

In the days leading up to Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41583865/what-to-expect-from-apples-fq4-earnings">highly-anticipated earnings report</a>, a lesser-known stock sent a warning signal to investors regarding the iPhone maker. 
Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>), which provides parts for smartphones, reported lower-than-expected as part of its earnings report, raising concerns about Apple's iPhone sales.
What Does Qorvo Do? Qorvo is a key supplier for Apple, providing parts for iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. Apple buys wireless chips, antenna equipment and ultra-wideband technology from Qorvo. A significant portion of Qorvo's revenue comes from its partnership with Apple.
Qorvo's Report: While Qorvo beat Street estimates on both EPS and revenue, the supplier reported lower-than-expected guidance, which sent the stock tumbling. Qorvo's CFO, Grant Brown, said that he expects revenue and gross margin to be lower in FY25 compared to FY24.
"Looking forward, the flagship and premium tiers in the smartphone market are holding up well, however, content and ramp profiles vary by model, and we are experiencing unfavorable mix," Brown said on the earnings call. "We expect this to continue in the second half of fiscal 2025."

Due to this &#8220;unfavorable mix&#8221;and lower guidance, Qorvo's stock tumbled more than 20% Wednesday morning. Apple shares held up relatively well compared to Qorvo, taking a hit of less than 1%.
An analyst at Benchmark, Cody Acree, lowered his rating on Qorvo from Buy to Hold and removed the price target following the report, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/qorvo-earnings-stock-price-a88b7b64">according</a> to Barron&#8217;s. Consumers are opting for less profitable entry-tier smartphones compared to more profitable premium and mid-tier phones, explaining Qorvo's weak guidance, the analyst reportedly said.<a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/qorvo-earnings-stock-price-a88b7b64"> </a>

Benzinga's PreMarket Prep, a daily show broadcast to YouTube covering the most significant headlines moving the markets, covered Qorvo's report on Wednesday morning's show.
PreMarket Prep co-host and professional trader Dennis Dick highlighted weakness in other Apple suppliers, as well as Apple's resilience despite seemingly negative headlines.
&#8220;Apple shrugs it off once again," Dick said.
"This stock is the honey badger stock of all stocks. The news flow has been terrible on Apple, it's had a lot of bad news in the last little while. At least rumors that the iPhone wasn't selling, they're talking about the Vision Pro, that's gone really south, then you had the downgrade from KeyBanc last week, they shrugged that off too." Dick said Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) are other Apple suppliers showing weakness Wednesday morning following Qorvo's report. Bucking The Trend: Not all Apple suppliers appear to be in the dumps. Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>), the main glass supplier for Apple's iPhones and iPads, reported stronger-than-expected earnings Tuesday morning, paired with strong guidance. Corning's positive report could be a potential explanation for Apple's resilience despite the disappointing numbers from Qorvo. Read Next:

Wall Street took a breather on Tuesday, with most major indices treading water, while tech stocks saw gains as investors braced for earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41579487/amd-q3-earnings-preview-can-ai-server-gains-help-narrow-the-semiconductor-gap-with-">reports from mega-cap companies.</a>
The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.7%, buoyed by anticipation around upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), both set to report after market close.
Elsewhere, the S&amp;P 500 was largely unchanged, the Dow Jones dipped slightly, and small-cap stocks underperformed.
In economic news, U.S. job openings dropped by 418,000 to 7.443 million in September 2024 — marking the lowest level since January 2021 and falling short of the market's expectation of 7.99 million.
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index surged, posting its largest monthly gain since March 2021. This suggests that while labor demand may be slowing, consumer sentiment remains robust.

Niche manufacturers are carving a significant space in the global economy by addressing specific demand for customized solutions. Amid this backdrop, you might consider tapping into three niche manufacturers: Corning Inc. (GLW), Littelfuse (LFUS), and Watts Water Technologies (WTS). Continue reading… Unlike large-scale manufacturers catering to mass markets, niche players focus on producing specialized, tailored products. This industry is poised to benefit from improving supply chains, resulting in easier availability of raw materials and faster deliveries.
Given this positive sentiment, it might be wise for investors to consider investing in quality industrial manufacturing stocks Corning Incorporated (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GLW/">GLW</a>), Littelfuse, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/LFUS/">LFUS</a>), and Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WTS/">WTS</a>), which are driving both innovation and economic growth.
As per the <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/manufacturing/manufacturing-industry-outlook.html">Deloitte report</a>, this fiscal year 2024, investment in U.S. manufacturing has led to longer-term growth. There have been 54 new clean-technology-manufacturing facilities announced during the year through September, representing over $15 billion in investment, which is expected to create more than 15,000 new jobs.
One of the major growth drivers for niche manufacturing is technological advancement. By incorporating automation, AI, and 3D printing into production processes, these manufacturers can meet complex requirements while maintaining efficiency and scalability.
According to an industrial outlook survey, <a href="https://www.advancedtech.com/blog/industrial-market-outlook-status-and-trends/">approximately 86% of manufacturing executives</a> responded that smart factories will be one of the main competitive advantages in the next five years.
The global smart manufacturing market is estimated to reach $479.17 billion by 2029, <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/11/12/2978953/28124/en/Smart-Manufacturing-Market-Forecast-Report-to-2029-A-USD-479-17-Billion-Market-by-2029.html">exhibiting a CAGR of 15.5%</a>.
