Better Buy: Corning Incorporated vs. Universal Display

In June, I went out on a limb to determine which stock was the better buy for investors: Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), or Universal Display (NASDAQ: OLED).

With the caveat that it would likely be a more volatile ride for investors, I ultimately chose Universal Display as the smaller, faster-growing business poised to take advantage of an industry still in its early stages. Both stocks have gained ground since then. But so far the organic light emitting diode (OLED) specialist, Universal Display, has earned a comfortable lead, outperforming both the glass technologist and the broader market by more than 32 percentage points as of this writing.
