Concerns about the prospects for Lumen Technologies Inc. (NYSE: LUMN) have lingered. However, recent quarterly results suggested a positive shift in its financial health due to a focus on strengthening its balance sheet and improving liquidity by reducing debt. The global telecommunications company has also focused on improving customer satisfaction. However, it still faces challenges with declining revenue and with free cash flow. 24/7 Wall St. Key Points: Lumen Technologies Inc. (NYSE: LUMN) net income losses have been enormous, but there is a different story emerging that could suggest a turnaround of the company’s income statement. The company’s P/E ratio was in negative territory for years, but the shift toward auxiliary AI services may right the ship. 24/7 Wall St. sees solid upside potential by the end of the decade. If you’re looking for a megatrend with massive potential, make sure to grab a complimentary copy of our “The Next NVIDIA” report. It breaks down AI stocks with 10x potential and provides a huge leg up in profiting from this sea change. The Louisiana-based company has been around a long time, so it was a surprise to some that the stock was at risk of being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange when in 2023, its price per share briefly dipped under $1.00. Those struggles continued into 2024, but by mid-summer, the stock surged when demand for its high-speed fiber-network solutions began to grow. The company secured deals with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and other leading tech companies that are requiring increased connectivity between their data centers because of the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI). More recently, Lumen partnered with IBM to unlock scalable AI for businesses, as well as with Google Cloud to provide advanced cloud and network solutions to meet the growing demands of AI workloads. Lumen strengthened its financial position and freed up capital for long-term growth by refinancing its term loans, as well as selling off its fiber-to-the-home business to AT&T. 24/7 Wall St. has performed analysis to determine if the company is fundamentally flawed, or if AI demand and strategic partnerships will be enough to see its stock continue on its bull run. Lumen’s Recent Success From July 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, the shares went on a tear. The stock, which was trading at just $1.11 at the start of the third quarter of 2024, surged 540% by the end of the third quarter. That was quite the reversal, given how the stock has slid 91.8% since hitting its all-time high of $49.45 on June 1, 2007. But market drivers are far different today than they were then, and with the emphasis on AI development, Lumen stock is struggling to hold on to that bounce after falling 60.2% over the past five years. Year Share Price Revenue* Net Income* 2014 $39.70 $18.031 $0.851 2015 $25.87 $17.900 $0.795 2016 $24.12 $17.470 $0.744 2017 $16.99 $17.656 $0.356 2018 $14.90 $23.433 $0.964 2019 $13.42 $22.401 $5.157 2020 $9.75 $20.712 $1.351 2021 $12.55 $19.687 $2.019 2022 $5.22 $17.478 $1.713 2023 $1.83 $14.557 $7.334 2024 $5.31 $13.108 −$0.550 *Revenue and net income in $billions Over the past decade, Lumen’s revenue decreased by more than 19%, while net income grew by over 761.8%. As the company battled through its dated infrastructure and a significant debt load, shares fell significantly from $39.70 in 2014 to $1.83 in 2023. However, Lumen has been able to better balance its books, with total assets and total liabilities nearly aligned in 2023 to the tune of $34.02 billion and $33.57 billion, respectively. Three Key Drivers of Lumen Stock Performance As the 56-year-old tech company looks forward to the rest of the decade, 24/7 Wall St. has identified three key drivers that are likely to have a positive impact on Lumen Technologies’ growth metrics and stock performance through 2030. 1. Strategic Partnerships With Tech Giants: The aforementioned strategic partnerships with Microsoft, the second-largest publicly traded company by market cap at $3.096 trillion, and Corning with its $36.16 billion market cap, should position Lumen for increased revenues and earnings for the foreseeable future. The partnership, announced in early August 2024, will result in Lumen more than doubling its total intercity network miles in order to unlock the next phases and capabilities of AI for cloud data centers (like Microsoft’s), enterprises and public agencies. According to the company’s press release, Lumen expects the deal with Microsoft to improve its cash flow by more than $20 million over the next 12 months. 2. Debt Restructuring: In March 2024, the company announced it had successfully extended its debt maturities, closing an approximately $1 billion revolving credit line maturing in June 2028 and completing the private placement of $1.325 billion due in November 2029. These efforts should free up funds and allow the company to address capital expenditures that will enable it to address the demands of the previously discussed strategic partnerships with Microsoft and Corning. 3. Insider Activity: While insider trading is never an absolute indication of growth, following the money can suggest what company executives’ sentiment is. And over the past 12 months, Lumen Technologies’ insiders have been doing far more buying than they have been selling. In fact, inside buyers have purchased a total of 12,924,936 million shares versus insider sellers offloading just 2,913,990. Put differently, the leadership at Lumen has out-purchased sellers by more than 343% over the past year. How Lumen’s Next Five Years Could Play Out Analysts currently have a consensus median one-year price target for Lumen stock of $4.82, which represents about 10% upside potential over the next 12 months from the current price. Of 11 analysts covering the stock, only three recommend buying shares. By the end of 2025, 24/7 Wall St.’s forecast for Lumen shares is just $4.01, which represents downside potential of less 9%, based on an annualized EPS of −$0.46. However, beginning in 2027 and continuing through 2030, we expect Lumen to post positive EPS, growing from $0.05 to $0.59, based on revenue growth from $12.369 billion in 2027 to $13.070 billion in 2030. Year Revenue* EPS 2025 $12.407 −$0.46 2026 $12.229 −$0.26 2027 $12.369 $0.05 2028 $12.473 $0.39 2029 $12.862 $0.38 2030 $13.070 $0.69 *Revenue in $billions By the conclusion of 2030, 24/7 Wall St. estimates that Lumen Technologies stock will be trading for $8.04 per share. Here is how it gets there: Year Price Target Potential Upside 2025 $4.01 −8.5% 2026 $4.63 5.7% 2027 $5.58 27.4% 2028 $6.52 48.9% 2029 $6.41 46.3% 2030 $8.04 83.6% Four Blue-Chip Dividend Giants With Incredibly Low Price-to-Earnings Ratios The post Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) Stock Price Prediction and Forecast 2025-2030 (Aug 2025) appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

Stacy Rasgon, Bernstein semiconductor analyst, joins 'Closing Bell' to discuss how to think about the chip equipment names, if prior earnings answered any questions and much more.

The Trump administration's agreement to allow Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, ETR:NVD) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD, ETR:AMD) to sell AI chips in China under export licenses, in exchange for 15% of profits, removes a key growth barrier and could spark the next phase of the AI boom, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said. Ives called the deal “highly unusual” but said it was a “major growth catalyst” for Nvidia, AMD and the broader US Big Tech sector over the next 12 to 18 months.

Cohere on Thursday announced that it had raised an oversubscribed $500 million round, bringing its valuation to $6.8 billion. This is up from the $5.5 billion valuation it landed a little over a year ago when it raised its previous round, also $500 million.

Key Points AI spending on data centers surpassed consumer spending as the biggest driver of America’s economy last quarter. AI spending as a percentage of GDP passed the telecom buildout in the late 1990s, but is still below prior trends like the GDP impact of the construction of railroads in the 1800s. Nvidia made early investors rich, but there is a new class of ‘Next Nvidia Stocks’ that could be even better. Click here to learn more. Watch Our Segment on How AI Is Now the #1 Driver of the American Economy Here are two charts that will blow your mind. First, a look at GDP contibution from data centers (in green) versus personal spending (in blue): AI SPENDING IS EATING THE US ECONOMYPer @RenMacLLC’s Dutta:“So far this year, AI capex, which we define as information processing equipment plus software has added more to GDP growth than consumers’ spending”https://t.co/jCHmYVWWiW pic.twitter.com/ewNWu1Rvo0 — Luke Kawa (@LJKawa) July 30, 2025 As you can see, in the most recent quarters, spending on AI data centers is now driving around 1% GDP growth, which is higher than consumer spending. That’s an incredible stat. America’s economy has long been driven by consumer spending – which at times drives more than 2% of all GDP growth. And here’s another stat that should astound: This is insane. AI capex might account for a larger share of GDP than basically any technology since the railroad. Basically it’s a mini-wartime economy, but the guns are chips and the tanks are databases pic.twitter.com/E11IxmYtOv — Derek Thompson (@DKThomp) August 1, 2025 AI spending is now bigger than the telecom boom in 2000. With data center spending rising above 1% of GDP, that’s a massive figure. However, its still a fraction the peak economic activity of the railroad buildout in the 1800s which eventually contributed 6% of overall economic activity. In the video above, AI Investor Podcast Host Austin Smith and analyst Eric Bleeker look at the historic figures of AI spending and discuss how AI has overtaken consumer spending as the top driver of America’s economy.

Transcript Eric Bleeker: But Austin, what I’m seeing in earnings season, the biggest, as we’ve said before, what is the strongest force in the known universe? Austin Smith: Well, typically it’s the American consumer, but I think there’s another major economic predator out there on the horizon right now. Eric Bleeker: Yes, another economic predator is brewing. But yes, the American consumer—we will buy anything that’s released. If you go into Five Below or any store, it’s a testament to what the American consumer can do. We will spend into any debt possible. We will take any means to keep buying whatever the world will pump out. It is rather amazing that we had GDP released this week showing 3% growth, largely driven by the tariff situation with fewer imports into the country. However, what we saw was AI spending actually eclipsing the American consumer. In the latest two quarters, AI spending is now generating about 1% of GDP growth, while consumer spending is at 0.65%. We are seeing that in earning season. This is what we’re going to talk about today. Some of the results from this earning season show a real inflection point we’ve been discussing in recent episodes. Now we’re seeing it in the numbers. There’s good and some bad, but we are definitively seeing an inflection point. So let’s get started with talking about earnings because we are really in the teeth of earning season.The post AI Spending is Now the #1 Driver of America’s Economy appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..
