Jim Cramer’s Week Ahead: 5 Stocks in Focus, Including Corning and Verizon

3. Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW)

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) was on Jim Cramer’s Mad Money game plan for the week ahead. Cramer noted that the company is involved with data centers and makes glass for Apple, as he said:

Tuesday, the tech day deluge begins. We start with Corning, the fiber company that makes all the glass for the iPhone. We found out about this one for the Trust when we visited their factory in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, with Tim Cook, outgoing CEO of Apple. The bowels of the data center, in it. If we were there, we would see a lot of copper, but that’s coming out, and its replacement is fiber optic, and fiber optic fiber… is made by Corning, that’s why it’s such an important but great, just a great stock.

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) develops optical fiber, cables, and related hardware for telecommunications, and produces glass substrates for displays used in TVs, computers, and mobile devices. On March 27, when a club member asked which segment of the AI and data center space, semiconductors, energy, or infrastructure, he has the most conviction in, and inquired about his top three stock picks, Cramer responded:

I’m going to have to go with build out, and I like GE Vernova, and I like Eaton. And then after that, I’m kind of torn. But I think that Corning, because it’s a fiber company and fiber’s taking over what copper was, is the best one.
