Corning Inks Long-Term Fiber Supply Deal With Zayo for AI Network Buildout
GLW has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $63.37.
Summary
Corning has expanded its strategic supply agreement with Zayo, a major digital network infrastructure provider, to secure a significant portion of Zayo's fiber needs through the rest of the decade. Zayo plans to add 15,000 new route miles by 2030, including over 8,000 miles of long-haul fiber in collaboration with NVIDIA. This follows Corning's multibillion-dollar Amazon deal in June and underscores continued AI-driven demand for optical fiber. The agreement provides supply assurance for Zayo's largest network expansion and reinforces Corning's position as a key supplier in the AI infrastructure buildout. No financial terms were disclosed, but the multi-year commitment adds another large customer to Corning's optical communications backlog.
