1012 ET - Lumen Technologies is of 3.5% in early trading after sliding more than 9% on Tuesday, after reports that the company would sell its fiber business to AT&T for about $5.5 billion. Raymond James thinks the sell-off was triggered by the fact that Reuters had reported in December the deal could be worth $6 billion to $9 billion. Analysts Frank Louthan and Rob Palmisano say in a research that they're convinced the business will sell in the next 12 months and that AT&T will likely be a top bidder, or perhaps even its joint venture partner Gigapower.
