We're not expecting Lumen Technologies to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Lumen Technologies's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 31 March 1999 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lumen Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lumen Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted Lumen Technologies's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Lumen Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.9702 up to $10.33. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Lumen Technologies's is 1.267. This would suggest that Lumen Technologies's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
