Description: GLW Corning September 26, 2025
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) is a diversified technology company organized into four primary businesses: optical communications, display technologies, environmental technologies, and life sciences. The optical communications segment supplies fiber-optic cables, connectors, and related hardware to telecom carriers, enterprises, and government customers, while the display segment produces glass substrates for LCD and OLED panels used in TVs, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones.
Beyond these core areas, Corning’s environmental-technology line manufactures ceramic substrates and emission-control filters for gasoline, diesel, and mobile applications, and its life-sciences portfolio delivers laboratory consumables, cell-culture products, and glassware under the Corning, Pyrex, Falcon, and Axygen brands. The company’s product mix therefore spans high-growth data-center infrastructure to steady-demand laboratory supplies.
Geographically, Corning operates across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with major manufacturing and R&D sites in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea, and Germany. Founded in 1851 as Corning Glass Works and renamed in 1989, the firm remains headquartered in Corning, New York.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately $14.5 billion, with the optical-communications segment contributing roughly 45 % of total sales; the life-sciences business grew about 9 % year-over-year, reflecting strong demand in biotech and pharma research. The company’s free-cash-flow conversion has averaged ~80 % of earnings, supporting a dividend yield near 0.9 % and a 5-year average dividend growth rate of 7 %.
Macro drivers that could affect GLW’s outlook include the global rollout of 5G and edge-computing networks (projected to boost fiber-optic spend by 12 % CAGR through 2027), continued expansion of data-center capacity (driven by cloud-service growth), and sustained demand for advanced display glass as OLED adoption accelerates in premium devices.
