  • Lumen Technologies Surges 660% on AI Pivot, Poised for Continued Recovery
    May 18, 2026, 1:58 AM EDT. Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) has surged 660% in two years, rebounding from near-junk status thanks to its strategic shift toward artificial intelligence (AI) data services. Once struggling with declining revenue and heavy debt, Lumen pivoted to AI connectivity contracts, securing nearly $13 billion in deals, including partnerships with Microsoft, Anthropic, and Amazon Web Services. The company sold its residential fiber business to AT&T, cutting debt by $5 billion, yet still isn't expected to post positive earnings until after 2025. Analysts caution the turnaround is ongoing, and while Lumen didn't make Motley Fool's top 10 stock picks, its AI-driven recovery presents a potential opportunity for patient investors.
