Spark’s Take on LUMN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LUMN is a Neutral.
The score is held back mainly by weak underlying financial performance and a risky balance sheet (negative equity, high leverage) plus soft technical momentum. Offsetting these, the earnings call points to improving execution (beats, slowing revenue declines, cost savings) and active debt refinancing, which supports a mid-range overall score despite ongoing profitability challenges.
