Description: GLW Corning January 29, 2026
Corning Incorporated (GLW) is a diversified technology company organized around four core businesses: optical communications, display technologies, environmental technologies, and life-sciences. It supplies fiber-optic cable, connectors, and related hardware to telecom carriers and data-center operators; glass substrates and cover-glass for LCD and OLED panels used in TVs, laptops and mobile devices; ceramic substrates and emission-control filters for gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains; and laboratory consumables and specialty glassware under the Corning, Pyrex, Falcon and Axygen brands.
In the latest quarter (Q3 2025), Corning reported revenue of **$3.78 billion**, a **6 % year-over-year increase**, driven primarily by a **9 % surge in the optical communications segment** as 5G roll-outs and hyperscale data-center capex accelerated. The display technologies unit posted a **12 % rise in sales**, reflecting higher OLED TV shipments and demand for high-refresh-rate laptop panels. Environmental technologies saw operating margin improve to **18 %**, benefitting from tighter EU and Chinese emissions standards that are expanding the market for automotive ceramic filters. Overall, the company’s **free-cash-flow conversion** stood at **85 %**, indicating strong cash generation relative to earnings.
These trends suggest that Corning’s exposure to data-center growth, the transition to OLED displays, and stricter automotive emissions regulations are key macro drivers of its near-term performance. For a deeper quantitative view, you might explore the GLW valuation metrics on ValueRay.
