Amazon signs multiyear fiber agreement with Corning for US data centers
What happened
Amazon signed a multiyear, multibillion-dollar agreement with Corning for fiber, cable, and connectivity used in its US data centers. Corning recently reported a 30% jump in core earnings per share for the second quarter, though its stock dropped 12% following the report. Jim Cramer advised waiting for Corning stock to fall after the announcement of the Amazon agreement.

Why it matters
The contract reinforces Corning's market position in data center infrastructure, as hyperscalers find it slow and risky to switch suppliers once a network is built around Corning's fiber. This agreement highlights the rapid transformation of the company's outlook due to data center growth.
Corning has secured multiyear agreements with Meta and Amazon, while also expanding its manufacturing presence in North Carolina and Harrodsburg.
