10 Stocks Losing Their Fire

3. Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LUMN)

Lumen Technologies snapped an eight-day winning streak on Thursday, slashing 8.31 percent to close at $8.77 apiece as investors resorted to profit-taking.

The previous days’ surge was bolstered by a combination of product launch and overall market optimism ahead of the last Federal Open Market Committee meeting for the year, where economists are placing bets on a 25-basis point rate cut.

Also on Tuesday, Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LUMN) launched a new advanced cybersecurity product aimed at detecting and blocking threats before they cause harm.

Called the Lumen Defender Managed Rules for AWS Network Firewall, the product enables action before a breach activity occurs and features high-confidence signals that minimize false positives and drive focused responses. It also provides actionable insights about indicators of compromise, helping security teams understand threat type, severity, and confidence.

“As cyber threats grow more automated and distributed, organizations need visibility that reaches beyond their own perimeter,” said Martin Nystrom, Vice President of Black Lotus Labs and Product Security at Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LUMN).

“Because Lumen operates one of the world’s most deeply connected global networks, our Defender threat intelligence delivers an upstream view into malicious infrastructure before it targets customers. By integrating this intelligence directly into AWS Network Firewall, we enable earlier detection and disruption of botnets, malware, and nation-state activity—helping organizations strengthen their defenses at the network edge,” he noted.
