Corning granted Nvidia warrants to buy up to $3.2 billion of equity, deepening a long-term partnership centered on AI optical connectivity.
Three new Corning facilities are being built to produce for Nvidia, reflecting demand for data-center links that can move beyond copper as AI systems scale.
Nvidia is using the deal to strengthen the physical layer of AI infrastructure, betting better optical interconnects will support faster deployment and ultimately lift GPU sales.
Corning shares have already surged nearly 400% in two years, leaving the company valued around $151 billion and trading at 58.8 times forward earnings as investors price in AI growth.
