Jim Cramer on Corning: "I Think You Have to Just Hope It Comes Down So You Can Buy Some"

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) is one of the stocks in focus as Jim Cramer shared his weekly game plan. Cramer noted how he spoke of the company during the latest monthly Investing Club meeting, as he said:

CNBC Investing Club members, look out. You’re going to be flooded with emails Wednesday because Charitable Trust holdings, Danaher, Starbucks, GE Vernova, Microsoft, Meta, and Corning all report. Let me give you a preview… We had our investing club monthly meeting yesterday, and I spoke positively about Corning, which is busy replacing copper with fiber in data centers all over the country. I don’t think I was effusive enough, frankly. I think the prospects are terrific. They own the business. I think you have to just hope it comes down so you can buy some.

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. Moreover, it supplies specialty materials, emission control products, and laboratory equipment. During the January 8 episode, Cramer showed bullish sentiment toward the stock for 2026, as he remarked:

Now, some of the other data center hardware plays did very well. Look at Corning, GLW… a key holding of the Charitable Trust. That leading maker of fiber optics, up 84% this year, and I still think it may be one of the best performers for 2026.
