    February 4, 2026, 5:48 AM EST. Lumen Technologies reported Q4 CY2025 revenue of $3.04 billion, matching Wall Street estimates but down 8.7% year-on-year. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.23, beating analyst expectations of -$0.27. Adjusted EBITDA stood at $767 million, slightly missing estimates. The company forecasted 2026 EBITDA at $3.2 billion, below market consensus. CEO Kate Johnson highlighted the closure of the AT&T transaction as a growth milestone. Despite a large fiber optic network and $12.4 billion annual revenue, Lumen faces long-term revenue declines averaging 9.7% per year over five years. The Large Enterprise segment showed a 9% annual decline. Free cash flow fell steeply to -$765 million. The results underscore challenges in sustaining sales growth amid a shrinking demand environment.
