Lumen Technologies Inc has garnered mixed opinions from experts regarding its stock performance. One expert notes that the stock is currently sliding downwards and suggests that it was previously overvalued, implying that the sharp increase in price was unjustified. This suggests a lack of confidence in its future growth prospects, especially under current market conditions. Another expert expresses distrust due to the stock's parabolic movements, pointing to volatility and uncertainty in the stock's trajectory. Overall, these sentiments reflect concerns about the stock's sustainability and highlight a cautionary stance towards any future investments in Lumen Technologies.
Doesn't trust it because of its parabolic moves.
LUMN is down 79% year-to-date and it recently missed its earnings by a wide margin. The company's sales declined year-over-year by 17%, but its operating expenses also rose 14%, causing significant margin contraction. Its operating expenses last year benefited from the sale of its business, and its interest expenses remain high, at $295M in the recent quarter. It has reduced its debt significantly over the past several years, but it remains high at a net debt of ~$20B, and a net debt/EBITDA of 4.0X. Its interest coverage ratio has been materially contracting, now at 1.4X, and it's selling assets and business segments to reduce its debt burden. A bad mix of declining sales, flat to contracting margins, and sales of some of its business units to reduce a debt/equity ratio of 9.0X is likely to negatively impact this name for some time. We do not expect a recovery in this name unless sales can recover, however, it seems the company is focused on restructuring rather than growing.
