Lumen Technologies jumped by 11.9 percent on Monday to finish at $4.23 apiece as investors cheered the company's bullish outlook and business recalibration, saying that it would now focus on growing and offering network services and officially dropping home internet, which does not sit well with its goals.
During the company's shareholders meeting, Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LUMN) CEO Kate Johnson said that its network-as-a-service (NaaS) platform is gaining traction and disrupting the market.
'And when I say higher, like it's an incredible rate,' Johnson was quoted as saying. 'I don't want to give it right now, but over the past 90 days, very, very significant growth. And what that suggests is that there's a faster path to revenue for the cloud companies, partnering with Lumen to provide networking for their end customers.'
In the first quarter of the year, Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LUMN) swung to a net loss of $201 million from a $57 million net income in the same period last year. Revenues dipped by 3.3 percent to $3.18 billion from $3.29 billion year-on-year.

Trump admin live updates: President to announce 'Trump savings accounts' for parents, guardians
The accounts are part of Trump's megabill. 1:40 As the Trump administration continues to ramp up its focus on Los Angeles and threatens to send troops to the city amid anti-ICE protests, the fallout from President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's feud continues. This comes as Republicans in Congress continue to work on agreeing on language for Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." Meanwhile, U.S.-China trade talks in London this week are expected to take up a series of fresh disputes that have buffeted relations, threatening a fragile truce over tariffs. President Donald Trump will host a roundtable Monday to formally announce the provision in his massive funding bill called the "Trump savings accounts," which will allow parents and guardians to invest funds in the financial markets on behalf of children, a White House official confirms to ABC News. The savings account would be applicable to children born between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2029. The government would deposit $1,000 into a tax-deferred, low-cost index fund account that will track the overall stock market for each newborn. Additional contributions can go up to $5,000 annually. When the children reach adulthood, they are able to take out the money to cover things like college or a down payment on a home. "The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill will literally change the lives of working, middle class families across America by delivering the largest tax cuts in history, increasing the child tax credit, AND by creating this incredible new "Trump Account" program, which will put the lives of young Americans on the right financial path," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to ABC News. Multiple CEO's from companies, such as Dell Technologies, will appear with Trump to announce billions of dollars in collective investments into "Trump Accounts" for the children of their employees, according to the official. The event comes as the White House works to highlight Trump's so-called "One, Big, Beautiful Bill," as the Senate works through attempting to pass the budget bill and amid explosive criticism from Elon Musk last week. --ABC News' Lalee Ibssa
