Amazon is the latest megacap company to announce a massive deal with Corning, which is rapidly becoming a critical player in the AI buildout.

Amazon is paying Corning billions for optical fibre to wire its US AI data centres, the glassmaker's third AI megadeal of 2026 after Meta & Nvidia.

The multibillion-dollar deal will also support hundreds of construction jobs to expand Corning’s North Carolina facilities and create a new workforce development program.
