On August 12, Corning rose 3.02% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $163.94 per share, with turnover of $1.5495 million.

On the news front, the optical communications sector is rebounding today after a broad-based pullback in the prior session, during which peer Coherent fell over 11%. Coherent is up more than 5% in pre-market trading today, and Corning is tracking the sector recovery.
