Price and Consensus\n\nLumen Technologies, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Lumen Technologies, Inc. Quote\n\nLumen’s earlier contract wins under the EIS program include a $1.2 billion deal with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) in 2022. Under the terms of the deal, LUMN was to deliver an integrated wide-area data transport service (with remote access and contact center and cloud connectivity offerings) to more than 9,500 USDA locations both domestically and globally.\nBased in Monroe, LA, Lumen is an international facilities-based technology and communications company that operates one of the most interconnected networks globally.\nLUMN’s performance is gaining from continued momentum in cloud and colocation, along with heavy investment in the Quantum fiber and enterprise business. The company added 20,000 Quantum fiber subscribers, taking the count to 916,000 at the end of the fourth quarter.\nThe company is simplifying operations and as part of that, it recently completed the sale of its EMEA business and certain CDN contracts.\nIts highly leveraged balance sheet is a concern. LUMN recently announced that it has completed the transactions as contemplated in the earlier amended and restated transaction support agreement entered with certain creditors of the company. As a result, total maturities outstanding for 2025 to 2026 have reduced to $600 million from $2.1 billion earlier. Total maturities outstanding for 2027 are now $800 million compared with $9.5 billion earlier.\nLUMN now has a strong liquidity position, which includes the closing of a new $1 billion revolving credit facility (maturing in June 2028) and completion of the private placement of $1.325 billion principal amount of senior secured notes (maturing in November 2029).\nWith the completion of this debt deal and strengthened liquidity, the company is now focusing on the execution of business transformation.\nLumen carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present.\nStocks to Consider\nSome better-ranked stocks worth consideration in the broader technology space are Synopsys SNPS, Iridium Communications IRDM and Pegasystems PEGA.
