The Motley Fool· 2024-10-10 19:10

The Motley Fool· 2024-10-07 02:30
文章核心观点 - 过去一年,Lumen Technologies(原CenturyLink)的股价飙升374%,主要得益于与微软的新AI基础设施交易 [1] - Lumen是美国最大的有线服务提供商之一,但过去几年收入一直下滑,利润率也在缩小,最终在2022年暂停了股息 [2][3] - 2022年7月,Lumen与微软签署了新的网络和光纤交易,微软将升级Lumen的基础设施以支持其云和AI服务的未来增长 [4] 公司概况 - Lumen与AT&T、Verizon不同,它专注于有线业务,通过一系列并购来扩大规模,期望通过规模效应实现稳定增长 [2] - Lumen还扩展了更快的光纤网络,并将更多云、安全和协作服务捆绑到企业有线计划中 [2] - 但Lumen的企业有线业务持续下滑,抵消了光纤业务的增长,导致公司收入连续5年下降 [2][3] - 过去两年,Lumen的调整后EBITDA利润率收缩,公司也遭受了巨额亏损 [3] 未来发展 - 2022年8月,Lumen表示已获得50亿美元的新AI连接市场合同(包括微软交易),并正在洽谈另外70亿美元的销售机会 [5] - 这些新合同可能在未来5年为Lumen带来50亿至120亿美元的收入(占2023年收入的7%-16%) [5] - 但这些增长可能无法完全抵消Lumen非AI业务有线分部的持续下滑 [5] - 分析师预计Lumen 2024年收入将下降11%至130亿美元,2025年进一步下降4%至124亿美元 [5] - Lumen计划在2025年提前完成2026-2027年的部分投资,以满足新的AI数据中心交易,这将导致其2024年调整后EBITDA下降至39亿美元 [6] - Lumen仍负有184亿美元的长期债务,债务权益比高达70% [6] - 但公司预计其自由现金流将从2023年的-8.78亿美元转正至2024年的10-12亿美元 [6] 股价展望 - Lumen目前估值较低,企业价值只有234亿美元,仅为今年销售额的1.8倍和调整后EBITDA的6倍 [7] - 但Lumen的股价走势将取决于其能否实现收入增长、维持正自由现金流并重新盈利 [7] - 短期内,Lumen的股价可能会受制于其AI业务和整体AI市场的消息面波动,上涨空间或受限于其持续亏损、利润率下降和高债务等因素 [8] - 因此分析师预计Lumen的股价在未来一年内可能会横盘,并可能低于行业更盈利的同行 [8]

The Motley Fool· 2024-10-04 16:50
文章核心观点 - 电信公司Lumen Technologies(LUMN)在过去一年中遭遇了诸多问题,包括大量债务、停止派息、财务状况恶化以及股价大跌[1] - 但随着人工智能(AI)相关消息的出现,Lumen的股价在短短三个月内上涨了540%,达到了多年来的高位[2] - 这种上涨是否过于迅速,Lumen的股价是否还有进一步上涨的空间,值得关注[1] 根据相关目录分别进行总结 Lumen与微软的合作 - Lumen宣布与微软达成合作,微软将使用Lumen的光纤产品来扩展AI基础设施[2] - 这一消息引发了市场对Lumen AI业务的极大热情,带动了其股价大涨[2] Lumen AI业务的潜在风险 - 虽然Lumen宣布了价值50亿美元的新AI驱动需求(包括与微软的交易),但关键在于这些业务的利润率如何[3] - Lumen过去12个月的营业利润仅为4.19亿美元,呈下降趋势,如果AI业务利润率不高,可能难以带来明显的业绩改善[3] - Lumen还表示正在洽谈价值70亿美元的其他交易,但这些交易尚未完成,存在不确定性[4] - 此外,在可能出现经济衰退的背景下,企业可能会更谨慎地进行新投资,Lumen的销售增长可能不如预期[4] 投资建议 - 如果Lumen的AI业务真的成为增长引擎,其股价有望进一步上涨至2022年的10美元以上水平[5] - 但目前投资者可能过于乐观,期望Lumen的业绩会在短期内大幅改善,这存在一定风险[5] - 投资者可能需要采取观望态度,等待Lumen的财务数据是否真的出现改善,再决定是否投资[5] - 对于风险偏好较低的投资者来说,不妨暂时观望,避免过早入场[6]
