What happened

We are buying 80 shares of Corning at roughly $155.42.

Why it matters

Following the trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 530 shares of GLW, increasing its weighting in the portfolio to 2% from 1.70%.

Common ground

We've been eyeing a purchase of Corning shares since Thursday, when we upgraded our rating to a buy-equivalent 1 upon learning that much of the margin-call-related forced selling of AI stocks was over.
