Samsung Electronics shares fell 2.5% to 773,000 won each, fueling declines in other Asian technology stocks, after the company forecast its third-quarter profit will fall from the second quarter's record high.
Corning's second-quarter profit jumped 49%, beating analysts' estimates as sales grew by 23%. But while the high-tech glass-maker expects demand to remain high for its products, it expects little change in sales in the current quarter. Shares fell about 2% in premarket trading.
