Corning (GLW) saw its shares advance 3.8% after boosting its revenue and profit outlook. The company highlighted strong demand for its optical connectivity products, which are crucial for networks running generative artificial intelligence applications.
Tesla (TSLA) continued its winning streak, with shares rising 3.7% on Tuesday. The electric vehicle maker’s stock has been on the rise since topping estimates for second-quarter vehicle deliveries.
