Corning Launches Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 3 with Enhanced Drop DurabilityMarch 2, 2026 12:05 AM
Business Wire
Motorola will feature the advanced cover material on its next-generation foldable device.
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced the launch of Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 3, the toughest Gorilla Glass Ceramic ever made. Designed to help deliver enhanced durability across a device’s lifetime, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 will be featured on Motorola’s upcoming razr fold device.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260227039398/en/Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 3 is the toughest Gorilla Glass Ceramic ever made.
“We engineer our materials with longevity in mind, not just initial performance,” said Lori Hamilton, Division Vice President & Business Technology Director, Corning® Gorilla® Glass. “With our unparalleled expertise in glass and ceramic science, we built Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 to provide consistent, reliable durability that holds up over time.”
Consumer devices are routinely exposed to a variety of hard, unforgiving surfaces, making realistic testing essential. To accurately assess durability under everyday conditions, Corning evaluates its cover material innovations across multiple surfaces designed to closely replicate real-world environments.
In Corning lab tests, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 demonstrated outstanding drop performance, surviving drops greater than two meters onto surfaces replicating concrete — one of the most challenging impact surfaces for consumer devices. These results highlight the material’s ability to help devices better withstand everyday accidents.
Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 also demonstrated substantial advantages in repeated drop scenarios. In Corning lab tests, the material survived at least 20 repeated drops from one meter onto surfaces simulating asphalt — another common surface where devices are dropped. In contrast, a competitive aluminosilicate glass typically failed on the first drop, underscoring the long-term durability benefits enabled by Corning’s glass ceramic technology.

Presentation of Information in this News Release
This news release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. Corning’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of items that are driven by general economic conditions and events that do not reflect the underlying fundamentals and trends in the company’s operations. The company believes presenting non-GAAP financial measures assists in analyzing financial performance without the impact of items that may obscure trends in the company’s underlying performance. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found on the company’s website by going to the Investor Relations page and clicking “Quarterly Results” under the “Financials and Filings” tab. These reconciliations also accompany this news release.
With respect to the outlook for future periods, it is not possible to provide reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures because management does not forecast the movement of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, or other items that do not reflect ongoing operations, nor does it forecast items that have not yet occurred or are out of management’s control. As a result, management is unable to provide outlook information on a GAAP basis.

This Stock Is About to Get an AI Boost. No One Is Paying Attention—Yet.
Savitz, Eric J
Finding fresh opportunities to invest in artificial intelligence is daunting, which explains why investors just keep pouring money into a handful of the same ideas. Nvidia has rallied 43% over the past month. In the same span, Arm Holdings has jumped 35%, C3.ai is up 22%, and Taiwan Semiconductor has gained 14%. AI plays, all.
Wall Street has recently started to fret about AI's profit potential outside of Nvidia, but this past week emboldened the bulls. It started with Apple's long-awaited unveiling of its AI strategy at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference . Apple stock rallied 11% on the news, with investors seemingly convinced a new iPhone upgrade cycle is coming. The Apple news was followed by AI-juiced earnings reports from Oracle, Broadcom, and Adobe, sparking double-digit stock rallies for all three, and spurring a renewed hunt for AI ideas .
I've got one for you: specialty glassmaker Corning. Founded in 1851, Corning makes highly engineered glass for a host of applications: Glass for TVs, PCs, and mobile phones. Glass for automotive displays and pollution control systems. Glass for vaccine vials and solar panels. And glass in the form of fiberoptic cable, which is used, among other places, in AI data centers.
Corning's recent financial results have been ugly. Revenue has been down year over year for six straight quarters, and the June quarter will likely extend the string to seven. Declines in multiple key markets—smartphones, TVs, autos, and telecommunications—have battered the business.
But CEO Wendell Weeks thinks a turnaround is at hand, thanks to improvements in the underlying businesses along with underappreciated new opportunities. Like AI.
Weeks sees a "springboard" coming. He predicts Corning can boost annual revenue by at least $3 billion by 2026—and potentially as much as $5 billion—on top of the $13.6 billion in revenue the company reported in 2023.
"Material science is really slow, until it gets fast," Weeks told me this past week. "You work in an area, and you work, and it takes a long time. We're talking about the composition of matter. And then a catalyzing customer application comes along and all of a sudden you have a big secular trend take off." That trend? Well, you know.
Before we get to the details, it's worth noting a few other things playing in Corning's favor.
"The springboard framework is all about this combination of cyclical and secular growth coming together," Weeks says. "We have this $3 billion-plus sales opportunity over the next three years in which we have high confidence. And because we already have the capacity in place to execute on that, the margins in the incremental revenue should be outstanding." That's an important point: Corning doesn't need to spend a fortune here to build infrastructure.
On the cyclical side, Corning sees growth ahead in the automotive sector, for curved glass displays inside electric and autonomous vehicles, and from increased use of its gas particulate filters, widely used overseas and about to get adopted in the U.S. thanks to new Environmental Protection Agency emissions rules.
Weeks also sees a rebound coming in non-AI fiberoptic cable. That business has been down double-digits over the past year, including a 17% drop in the March quarter. But, Weeks says, it has averaged 7% growth over the long haul, and should rebound as telcos work down inventory.
Meanwhile, Weeks expects Corning to start seeing increased fiber demand next year from the rollout of a $42.5 billion federal government program known as BEAD—Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment—to make high-speed connectivity available in underserved areas. He also sees a boost to display glass volumes from a gradual increase in average TV screen sizes.
But the big opportunity comes from AI. As Weeks notes, fiberoptic cable is crucial to every cloud data center, linking processors to each other. That is even more important for AI, where the computing power comes from the interconnection of thousands and someday millions of graphics processing units, or GPUs, made by Nvidia and others. "I have been doing this a long time," Weeks says. "And we have a pretty unprecedented opportunity right now."
Weeks says systems that rely on Nvidia's popular Hopper H100 GPUs require 10 times the fiber used in a conventional server rack.
Corning formed a dedicated team four years ago to solve the problem, Weeks notes. The company invented thinner fiber, new cabling, new connectors, and a new system to tie them together. Weeks says the new approach offers 60% higher density and 70% less labor for installation. The system starts shipping this quarter.
The math should steadily improve for Corning as systems get even denser over time. When Nvidia launches its powerful new Blackwell chips later this year, the number of GPUs per rack more than doubles, to 74 from 32. That means more connections, and more fiber. When that happens, Weeks says, Corning's revenue per rack should double.
Corning shares have rallied 25% this year, but they still trade at a relatively modest 2.3 times expected 2024 sales, and about 20 times adjusted earnings. With growth set to explode and its AI business still emerging, the undiscovered Corning story might not stay that way for long.
