# Corning (GLW) Is an AI Play with Strings Attached

Corning Incorporated (GLW) has quietly become one of the more interesting indirect artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure plays in the market over the last few years. I say so because of the surging demand for optical fiber in data center buildouts. I've been following the world's largest materials science and specialty glass company for a while now, and I see that the growth tied to data centers is real.

The partnerships backing Corning are substantial, and the long-term agreements it has secured give the company more revenue visibility than most industrial businesses ever get. Nonetheless, I am neutral on GLW at current prices because the stock has run so far ahead of its growth story, and the legacy segments dragging on the portfolio make a premium multiple difficult to justify from here.
