Description: GLW Corning December 03, 2025

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) is a diversified materials and technology company operating across five core segments: optical communications, display technologies, environmental technologies, specialty materials, and life sciences. It supplies optical fibers, cables, connectors and related hardware for telecom networks, glass substrates for LCD and OLED panels, engineered glass-ceramics for emissions-control filters, and laboratory consumables under the Corning, Pyrex, Falcon and Axygen brands.

In FY 2023 the firm generated roughly $15.3 billion in revenue, with optical communications contributing about 55 % of total sales-a share that benefits directly from the global rollout of 5G and expanding data-center capacity. The life-sciences segment saw a 9 % year-over-year growth driven by increased demand for cell-culture plastics and specialty glassware, while the environmental-technology line is positioned to capture rising regulatory pressure on vehicle emissions worldwide. GLW maintains a modest dividend yield near 1.6 % and a history of share-repurchase programs, supporting shareholder returns amid a 2024-projected earnings-per-share growth rate of 6-8 %.
