Ticker: LUMNCommunication ServicesTelecommunicationsThe business
Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LUMEN) operates as a leading digital networking services company that empowers enterprise businesses to fuel growth in a multi-cloud, artificial intelligence-first marketplace by connecting people, data, and applications quickly, securely, and effortlessly. The company maintains its corporate presence at www.lumen.com and serves customers across North America and Asia Pacific regions.
The company operates through two primary segments: Business and Mass Markets. The Business segment provides integrated products and services to enterprise and commercial customers through five specialized sales channels including Large Enterprise, Mid-Market Enterprise, Public Sector, Wholesale, and International and Other. The Mass Markets segment historically served domestic residential and small business customers, though the company completed the sale of its Mass Markets Fiber-to-the-Home business in eleven states to AT&T in February 2026 for $5.75 billion in gross cash proceeds. Following this divestiture, the company anticipates operating as a single reporting segment focused on enterprise services.
Lumen operates one of the world's most interconnected communications networks, featuring approximately 163,000 fiber on-net buildings and over 340,000 route miles of fiber optic cable globally as of December 31, 2025. The company employs approximately 24,000 employees worldwide, including roughly 3,400 outside the United States. The company conducts operations under three primary brands: Lumen for enterprise and wholesale markets, CenturyLink for legacy mass-market copper-based services, and Black Lotus Labs for cyberthreat research and intelligence.
The company's Business segment offerings span four product categories: Grow services including dark fiber, edge cloud, IP, VoIP, managed security, SD-WAN, unified communications, and optical services; Nurture services including ethernet and VPN data networks; Harvest legacy services including voice and private line; and Other services including equipment and managed solutions. The company traces its origins to 1968 and has grown substantially through acquisitions including Embarq Corporation, Qwest Communications International Inc., and Level 3 Communications, Inc., while strategically divesting non-core assets to focus on enterprise digital networking services.
