TIP326: Intrinsic Value of Lumen with Ben Claremon and Eugene Robin (Business Podcast)

On today’s show we speak to Ben Claremon and Eugene Robin from Cove Street Capital about the intrinsic value of Lumen. Lumen Technology is a new name for a merged entity between Level 3 and CenturyLink. We discuss how Level 3 holds the hidden upside value while only being one-third of the new entity, and CenturyLink's dying business model is distracting the market attention. Ben and Eugene make a great case for why there may be a special situation between the two right around the corner that could be a catalyst for the stock price to soar. *The opinions expressed herein are those of Cove Street Capital, LLC and are subject to change without notice.
