Lumen Technologies Financial Ratios 2025-2011 | LUMN
Brief overview of Lumen Technologies's valuation multiples
The comparison uses the five latest available annual observations between 2014 and 2021.
The current valuation set is P/E 5.4x (median 16.05x), EV/EBITDA 1.23x (median 5.56x), P/S 0.63x (median 0.35x). Valuation is 55.8% above five-year reference levels. The premium requires support from earnings and returns.
The inverse P/E implies an earnings yield of 18.5%. This is not a dividend yield, but current earnings relative to market price.
The latest available business-quality ratios are ROE 155.7%, ROA -5.1%, ROCE 72.7%. Negative returns point to losses or poor capital efficiency. Valuation multiples are less informative in this setting.
The time from paying for inputs to receiving cash fell from -9.3 days to -24.6 days. Cash turnover improved.
Valuation takeaway
Lumen Technologies's profile looks stretched: price anticipates improvement that current quality ratios do not yet confirm.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios- Simplified Data Analysis
Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition. - Comparability Between Companies
Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations. - Identification of Trends and Issues
Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks. - Decision Support
Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions. - Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.
Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
