NYSE-listed enterprise fiber network and connectivity provider post-CenturyLink rebrand; divested consumer broadband to refocus on enterprise digital services competing with AT&T Business.
CenturyLink, now rebranded as Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN), is a telecommunications and technology company providing enterprise fiber networking, cloud connectivity, security services, and legacy broadband internet — primarily focused on enterprise and mid-market business customers after strategic divestitures of its consumer broadband and Latin American businesses. Lumen Technologies operates one of the largest fiber networks in North America and competes for enterprise digital transformation infrastructure contracts with AT&T Business, Verizon Business, and cloud hyperscalers.\n\nLumen's enterprise offerings center on high-bandwidth private network connectivity (MPLS and SD-WAN), dedicated internet access via fiber, cybersecurity services (DDoS protection, managed security), and co-location data center services. The company went through significant portfolio transformation in 2021-2022, selling its Latin American operations to Stonepeak for $2.7 billion and its legacy ILEC (incumbent local exchange carrier) consumer broadband business in 20 states to Apollo Global Management for $7.5 billion — refocusing on enterprise digital services from its remaining fiber infrastructure.\n\nIn 2025, Lumen Technologies faces a challenging financial position with substantial debt load and revenue decline as legacy copper-based voice and data services erode faster than enterprise fiber growth can offset. The company has engaged in debt restructuring discussions and cost reduction programs to stabilize the business. The strategic question for Lumen is whether its fiber network infrastructure has sufficient competitive value in an enterprise market where cloud connectivity increasingly flows through hyperscaler direct connections rather than telco-managed networks. The 2025 strategy focuses on winning enterprise fiber connectivity and security contracts, managing the legacy service revenue decline, and completing financial restructuring to reduce interest burden.
Value-positioned RTD iced tea from PepsiCo-Unilever joint venture; bold flavors at accessible prices in convenience stores competing with AriZona in mainstream tea.
Brisk is a functional beverage brand offering ready-to-drink iced tea and juice drinks, jointly owned by PepsiCo and Unilever under the Lipton brand partnership. Launched in the 1990s, Brisk positioned itself as a bold, value-priced iced tea targeting younger consumers who wanted flavorful, refreshing beverages at affordable prices — often sold in large cans and bottles that delivered more volume at lower per-ounce costs than premium tea brands. The brand's irreverent advertising featuring clay-animated celebrities became culturally memorable.
