Corning Inc. has secured a substantial $6 billion multi-year agreement with Meta Platforms, further cementing its role in the optical communications market. Following a remarkable Q1 2026, where it reported core sales of $4.35 billion—an 18% increase year-over-year—the company also anticipates continued growth with projected sales of around $4.6 billion for Q2. However, despite these strong earnings, Corning's shares fell 8.9%, reflecting investor uncertainty amid broader market challenges and ongoing Sino-U.S. trade tensions.
