If you believe GLW can sustain its 19.1% revenue growth while sharply expanding margins toward MSFT-like levels, then the stock could deserve a premium; otherwise, the current price looks difficult to justify because GLW trades at 107.6x earnings and 49.5x EV/EBITDA versus MSFT’s much lower multiples.
GLW is trading at a much higher earnings multiple than MSFT, with P/E of 107.6x versus 35.5x, despite materially lower profitability. The model’s implied price of $64.88 suggests 67.0% downside from the current price of $196.82, and GLW also sits above the top of MSFT-implied range.
