I have struggled getting Lumen right in the past. I am hoping for a positive change in my success rate with Lumen in the future. Lumen's revenue is not growing today. Profitability seems far away. But a closer look at its balance sheet gives me hope for a strong comeback in the next few years. Lumen's valuation is better than it seems. There seems to be room for a meaningful expansion in EV/EBITDA multiples.

Lumen recently completed the sale of its consumer fiber-to-the-home business. However, the transformation has made the current state of the company unclear.

LUMN trades at a steep discount, but AI-driven deals, cost cuts and debt reduction efforts are positioning it as a potential turnaround story.
