  • Lumen Technologies Q1 CY2026 Sales Beat Estimates Despite Revenue Decline
    February 3, 2026, 6:26 PM EST. Telecommunications firm Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN) posted Q1 CY2026 revenue of $3.04 billion, a 4.4% year-on-year drop but 2.9% above analyst forecasts. Its GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $0.23 far exceeded expectations of -$0.18. Adjusted EBITDA missed estimates, logging $767 million against $837.1 million predicted, with operating margin shrinking to -6.6%. Free cash flow swung negative at -$1.08 billion compared to $354 million last year. CEO Kate Johnson noted the recent AT&T transaction strengthens Lumen's growth prospects. However, long-term trends reveal persistent revenue declines at 9.7% annually over five years and 6.7% over two years, with the Large Enterprise segment down 7.5% annually. Analysts forecast a continued 7.2% revenue drop over 12 months, signaling challenges in new product impact.
