Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) can afford to take a break from the straining market environment to put a smile on the faces of the less privileged in the community even though it is itself currently less privileged in the market. The company recently rallied its employees to donate $25 each and ended up raising $2,000 in support of Food Bank of the Southern Tier. With this move, the company has helped quite literally bring employees and the community to the table. But even as this is happening, the company is looking for ways to trim its expenses and boost revenue because the business environment has become so competitive that relying on the existing opportunities cannot help much. The stock of Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) shed 0.93 of its market value, sending shares of the stock to close Monday’s trading $17.05.
