Corning Incorporated shares doubled during the second quarter of 2026, according to Reaves W H & Co Inc's second-quarter 2026 investor letter, which highlighted the company as a leading contributor to its Reaves Long Term Value Wrap Strategy. The letter said management used an investor day to deliver strong, positive revisions to its multi-year outlook, and that late in the quarter global competitors added further fuel to the rally by citing robust demand and pricing for fiber optic products. Corning's CFO also floated the possibility of building a production facility in South Korea for glass substrates used in semiconductor chip packaging, a product line the letter described as incremental to management's investor-day forecasts. Corning closed at $144.16 per share on September 16, 2026, returned 1.41% over the past month, gained 92.89% over the past 52 weeks, and carries a market capitalization of $125.38 billion. The Reaves Long Term Value Wrap Strategy rose 10.55% in the quarter, outperforming the MSCI USA Infrastructure Index's 6.31% decline, while cash distributions grew 6.7% compared to the second quarter of 2025.
