Within the last decade, Lumen has transformed its business to focus primarily on enterprises rather than consumers. The shift became even more pronounced in 2022, when Lumen sold its incumbent local exchange carrier, or ILEC, in 20 of the 36 states where it operated, ridding Lumen of nearly half its remaining consumer revenue.
After several business divestitures over the past few years, Lumen is more focused and better positioned for a turnaround.
Lumen is in a death spiral, and its dangerous financial position will make it impossible for the stock to recover even if business improves.
