Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) is included among the 12 Must-Buy Dividend Stocks to Invest in.
Corning Incorporated is an American multinational technology company known for its expertise in glass, ceramics, and advanced materials used in industrial and scientific applications.
While the company has long been recognized for producing the glass used in Apple’s iPhones since 2007, the company is now gaining investor attention for a different reason. It has become a key supplier of high-performance fibre optic cables that connect advanced chips in AI data centers.
The surge in demand for these cables has driven Corning Incorporated’s stock up by about 86% in 2025, outperforming several other major hardware players in the AI space. Fiber optics have a clear edge over traditional copper cables, offering faster transmission speeds, greater data capacity, and minimal signal loss. Corning’s Contour Flow cables are tailored for AI data centers, capable of holding twice as much fiber within the same cable size as its older Ribbon model, which once set the industry standard.
On the financial side, Corning Incorporated is also grabbing investors’ attention. The company doesn’t hold any dividend growth track record, but has made consistent payments to shareholders over the years. It currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share and has a dividend yield of 1.28%, as of October 9.
