Specialty glass maker Corning forecast second-quarter core sales above Wall Street expectations on Tuesday, banking on price increases and healthy demand for its fiber optic cables amid recovery in spending from telecom clients.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File PhotoAfter a period of sluggish spending by wireless carriers on its fiber optic cables, Corning is seeing a recovery as telecom clients upgrade their infrastructure along with more uses for the company's products in data centers, which power artificial intelligence applications.

"We are executing our plans to add more than $3 billion in annualized sales within the next three years," Weeks said. The company, which makes Gorilla Glass used in smartphones by companies such as Samsung and Apple, reported first-quarter total core sales of $3.26 billion, beating estimates of $3.12 billion.
