Meet the Super Semiconductor Stock Crushing Nvidia in 2026
This 175-year-old glassmaker is now at the center of the artificial intelligence boom.
Graphics processing units (GPUs) power the majority of artificial intelligence workloads. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) dominates this market, supplying the world's most advanced GPUs. Since 2023, the company's market capitalization has expanded from $360 billion to an astounding $5.8 trillion. However, scaling back its market share will prove challenging for Nvidia due to its immense size, resulting in a modest 28% increase in its stock value so far in 2026.
In contrast, Corning (NYSE: GLW), a 175-year-old glass manufacturer with extensive experience serving the electronics industry, has soared by 82% this year. Corning has played a pivotal role in the AI boom through its fiber-optic data center cables. This glass producer, which supplied Thomas Edison's original lightbulb in 1879 and now manufactures glass for all Apple's iPhones, appears poised for continued growth in the long term.
