      That's it AT&T, gets a slap on the wrist and pays consumers $5 for loss of internet? What? Say it isn't true? Has this happened with Lumen and the White House? Or is Lumen taking care of President Trumps internet?

      You know? I really don't like being such a cheerleader for a stock. I'm just amazed we're still in the $3 range. Not only will AI require "Robust" Fiber network, but the Quantum computing upcoming Boom will require "State of the Art" fiber network. Did y'all catch the John Stankey (CEO AT&T) interview on Yahoo Finance? Quite enlightening.
      Lumen may have sold it's 1 million customers and 4 million potential, but folks need to understand that Lumen is refocusing its core business model. Why would Lumen stay in such a competitive environment with a low margin? IDK, do your own Due Diligence.

      Thanks! Yes, I did also read that also that they are keeping their enterprise fiber network, but wasn't sure if the Fiber to the home being sold to AT&T was something that they just didn't need, but makes sense if it is just for Internet purposes for AT&T to advance with their services. Clearing up some debt with the sale, always good.

      Stockguy;
      An important consideration, read bullet #2. How I read this; Lumen maintains control of it's Infrastructure (fiber network). It's only selling it's Mass market (Home customer base).

      05/21/2025 - 01:06 PM
      >AT&T to acquire Lumen’s Mass Markets fiber-to-the-home business for a total consideration of $5.75 billion in cash
      >Lumen retains infrastructure critical to its enterprise strategy, including its national, regional, state, and metro fiber backbone and consumer copper broadband and voice services
      >Accelerates Lumen's investment in network expansion, differentiated digital platform, and network architecture innovation
      >Transaction to materially reduce Lumen’s debt, improve annual cash flow, and position Lumen for additional refinancing opportunities

      Nukemtiltheyglow Nukemtiltheyglow 2 months ago
      Apologies StockGuy; Lumen is selling their Fiber to the Home, this doesn't effect their AI Fiber buildout. The $5.75B cash influx should help a lot towards AI infrastructure build-out. These are two separate entities? At least that's my understanding. People at home wouldn't be connected to the AI infrastructure as businesses would be. I believe that FTTH fiber to the home is intertwined with AI infrastructure. As the "Connected" Home Networks require fiber also. I'm just guessing here that AT&T wants into AI initiatives.
      Also the newer fiber Lumen is buying from Corning is "State of the Art" fiber. Bigger, better, faster. Believe me, I'm not an expert in this field. So, what I should be saying is "I don't know?" I'm in the Electric Generation Industry. The important thing to consider is staying within your core business. IMHO Lumen is heading in a different direction, concentrating on developing high speed AI networks.

      Nukemtiltheyglow Nukemtiltheyglow 2 months ago
      If you recall, Lumen is buying 10% of Dow Cornings fiber production. That's a lot of fiber. This build-out of fiber is to support AI initiatives. More fiber installed to support more data centers, etc. My opinion only, my gut feel.

      Yes, me too, I got snookered into buying Lumen at $10 because of the 25 cents dividend. A case study in why we do Due Diligence. There were warning signs, but I didn't heed them. I thought man, how sweet this is. Had I not gone in with my rose colored glasses on...? I'm pleased Lumen has gotten rid of a lot of debt >$10B dollars since that time. I'm also in for the long haul.

      Apologies;
      my Debt to employee ratio was incorrect;

      Lumen Debt to employee = $18.16B/24,000 = $756,667

      Two more comparisons;
      Charter Communications (CMCSA) PPS 34.45
      Revenue to employee $123.7B/182,000 = $679,670
      Debt to employee $99.093B/ 182,000 = $544,010

      Deutsche Telekom (DTE.DE) PPS 32.01
      Revenue to employee $115.1B/ 198,194 = $580,726
      Debt to employee $145.15B/ 198,194 = $$732,320

      Here's another more telling Total Debt per Employee. Draw your own conclusions

      Company Total Debt Employees Debt/Employee
      Lumen $13B 24,000 $541,667
      AT&T $140.9B 140,000 $1,006,428
      VZ $168.4B 99,400 $1,694,167

      Yes, Lumen doesn't own thousands of Brick & Mortar stores, staffed by 100's of employees. It doesn't have large inventories of Phones and gadgets.
      I'm thinking I need to compare it with Cable companies versus phone companies. Although it is in a niche market.

      Then you have to deal with the Brokerage houses.
      I sell and they hold your money for 3 days while the trades settles before you can take advantage of the fluctuations. Whereas before, I could sell and buy right away, but couldn't trade again those same shares for 3 days while the trade settled. Anyone else experience this?

      Good deal, what slays me about the way this stock is traded is, the Big Boys know LUMEN is undervalued and most likely they'll beat earnings based upon my own assessment of MSFT, META earnings and their ongoing investment in AI and Cloud (CAPEX).

      Lumen's earnings are more manageable now. It's Price/Sales is way undervalued. Yet the marketers pound the crap out of Lumen. It goes up a few pennies and BAM! Take her down!

      https://news.microsoft.com/2025/04/30/microsoft-cloud-and-ai-strength-drives-third-quarter-results/

      REDMOND, Wash. — April 30, 2025 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the following results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal year:

      Revenue was $70.1 billion and increased 13% (up 15% in constant currency)
      Operating income was $32.0 billion and increased 16% (up 19% in constant currency)
      Net income was $25.8 billion and increased 18% (up 19% in constant currency)
      Diluted earnings per share was $3.46 and increased 18% (up 19% in constant currency)
      “Cloud and AI are the essential inputs for every business to expand output, reduce costs, and accelerate growth,” said Satya Nadella, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft. “From AI infra and platforms to apps, we are innovating across the stack to deliver for our customers.”

      “We delivered a strong quarter with Microsoft Cloud revenue of $42.4 billion, up 20% (up 22% in constant currency) year-over-year driven by continued demand for our differentiated offerings,” said Amy Hood, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Microsoft.
      Even though MSFT & LUMN are totally different companies. The Price to Sales ratio for MSFT is 3.2T (MC) divided by 261.8B (Total Rev) = 12.09, please check my math.
