Optical demand down but fundamentals strong: Corning

摘要

Large US specialty glass, fibre optic and advanced material manufacturer Corning cut inventories and production in April-June as it adjusted to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and greater economic uncertainty. But it remains upbeat on the longer-term outlook. Fibre optic cable demand fell in the first half of this year, despite the pressure on networks to expand capacity to cope with massive demand from homeworking, as installation programs faced Covid-19 restrictions.
