About the Lawsuit

Lumen and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On November 2, 2022, the Company revealed delays in the buildout of its fiber optic cable services, branded as Quantum Fiber, and that it was "not yet where we want to be" with "much more to do." On this news, shares of Lumen fell more than 17.7%, from a close of $7.05 per share on November 2, 2022, to a close of $5.80 on November 3, 2022.

Then, on February 7, 2023, the Company disclosed that, contrary to prior representations, work on Quantum Fiber had hit “more of a stop button than a pause button” and that its "location and subscriber results were impacted by the pause we had in place." On this news, shares of Lumen fell more than 20.8%, from a close of $4.99 per share on February 7, 2023, to a close of $3.95 on February 8, 2023.

The case is Voigt v. Lumen Technologies, Inc., No. 23-cv-00286.
