Lumen Technologies

With 450,000 route miles of fiber, Lumen Technologies is one of the United States' largest telecommunications carriers serving global enterprises. Its merger with Level 3 in 2017 and divestiture of much of its incumbent local exchange carrier, or ILEC, business in 2022 has shifted the company's operations away from its legacy consumer business and toward enterprises (now about 75% of revenue). Lumen offers businesses a full menu of communications services, providing colocation and data center services, data transportation, and end-user phone and internet service. On the consumer side, Lumen provides broadband and phone service across 37 states, where it has 4.5 million broadband customers.

Comerica, Netflix And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Monday

A second private Signal group chat involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly surfaced, revealing that he shared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44485684/trump-administration-officials-face-lawsuit-over-signal-leak-war-planning-doesnt-belong-in-emoji-laden-disappearing-group-chats">sensitive details about a military strike</a> in Yemen with members of his family and personal legal team.
What Happened: Hegseth shared classified information regarding the March 15 strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen through a private Signal group chat that included his wife, Jennifer, his brother, Phil, and his personal lawyer, Tim Parlatore, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/us/politics/hegseth-yemen-attack-second-signal-chat.html">reported</a> the New York Times, citing four people with knowledge of the chat.
The information, which included flight schedules for F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets targeting the Houthis, was shared within this private group in parallel to a separate chat that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44467683/donald-trump-officials-accidentally-text-war-plans-to-journalist-on-signal-exposing-secret-yemen-strike-hours-before-bombs-fell-but-president-says-he-doesnt-know-anything-about-it-youre-saying-that-they-had-what">inadvertently included</a> The Atlantic&#8217;s editor, Jeffrey Goldberg.

The details shared with his circle mirror the attack plans already disclosed in the first, more official Signal chat that involved senior national security officials.
The existence of this second chat, which was previously unreported, has raised further questions about Hegseth&#8217;s handling of classified materials.
After the publication's story went live, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon's chief spokesperson, took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, "Another day, another old story."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 4/20/25 STATEMENT: Another day, another old story—back from the dead. The Trump-hating media continues to be obsessed with destroying anyone committed to President Trump's agenda. This time, the New York Times — and all other Fake News that repeat their…

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It&#8217;s Important: The second "Defense/Team Huddle" Signal group included roughly a dozen of Hegseth's senior aides, such as his chief of staff, Joe Kasper, and Parnell.
Also in the chat were Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick, two senior advisers who were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44890554/there-is-complete-meltdown-in-the-building-defense-secretary-loses-four-key-staffers-in-a-single-day">dismissed last week amid</a> accusations of leaking unauthorized information.
Jennifer Hegseth, formerly a Fox News producer and not affiliated with the Defense Department, has previously accompanied her husband on overseas trips <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44550744/defense-secretary-hegseth-under-fire-for-bringing-wife-to-high-level-security-meetings">and faced scrutiny for attending</a> high-level meetings with foreign officials.
On Sunday, another former Defense Department official, John Ullyot, published an opinion piece in Politico criticizing the department's current state under Hegseth and calling on President Donald Trump to consider replacing him.

The Xi Jinping administration&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce has warned against the U.S. using tariffs to coerce other countries into restricting economic and trade cooperation with China.
What Happened: According to a recent <a href="https://www.mofcom.gov.cn/xwfb/xwfyrth/art/2025/art_3277f51446f143eda489a1bd5de6f72f.html">release</a> by the ministry, its spokesperson told reporters that President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration is &#8220;promoting hegemonic politics and implementing unilateral bullying in the economic and trade fields.&#8221;
&#8220;It should be pointed out in particular that China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China&#8217;s interests,&#8221; the spokesperson said, according to a translated version of the statement.
If the trading partners try to isolate Beijing, &#8220;China will never accept it and will resolutely take countermeasures in a reciprocal manner.&#8221;
The press release also stated that China is willing to strengthen solidarity and coordination with all parties, work together to resist unilateral bullying, safeguard its rights and interests, and defend international fairness and justice.

Why It Matters: While expressing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44886711/trump-expresses-reluctance-to-escalate-china-tariffs-hints-at-trade-deal">readiness for trade talks</a> last week, Chinese President Jinping&#8217;s administration laid out preconditions, notably a reduction in Republican Party rhetoric and a clear articulation of desired concessions from Trump.
Furthermore, Trump expressed his hesitation to escalate tariffs on China, citing potential trade stagnation.
Trump underscored several attempts made by Beijing to initiate talks and emphasized having a good relationship with Xi, suggesting that any outreach from China would have Xi's knowledge and approval, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-17/trump-says-he-is-reluctant-to-keep-raising-tariffs-on-china?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a> Bloomberg. 
&#8220;No one can remain immune to the impact of unilateralism and protectionism. Once international trade returns to the &#8216;law of the jungle&#8217; where the strong prey on the weak, all countries will become victims,&#8221; the spokesperson added, according to the Chinese press release.
Price Action: As of Thursday&#8217;s close, the S&amp;P 500 index was down 14.1% from its all-time high of 6,147.43 points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was 13.15% below its 52-week high, whereas the Nasdaq 100 index was 17.84% lower than its previous record.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended on a mixed note on Thursday. The SPY was up 0.14% to $526.41, while the QQQ declined 0.018% to $444.10, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
On Monday, the futures of Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500, and the Nasdaq 100 indices were down 0.70% at the time of writing.

SpaceX announced it will launch its Dragon Cargo Capsule to the International Space Station (ISS) from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida via its Falcon 9 Rocket on Monday, April 21, 4:15 AM EDT.
What Happened: As part of a resupply mission, Elon Musk's company will launch an uncrewed Dragon Cargo Capsule to the ISS aboard the Falcon 9 Rocket. The mission, dubbed the CRS-32 (Commercial Resupply Mission), is the Dragon Capsule's 32nd launch as part of NASA's resupply contract with SpaceX.

The company has shared that an alternate launch window dated Tuesday, April 22, at 3:53 AM is available for the mission, should there be any delays on Monday. SpaceX says the flight will last about 28 hours, after which the capsule will &#8220;autonomously dock&#8221; to the ISS.
SpaceX says the Falcon 9 Rocket will land at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after separation from the capsule post-launch.
NASA revealed that in addition to essential supplies for the crew aboard the ISS, the capsule will also carry two atomic clocks and an advanced air quality monitoring system that could aid astronauts in future Moon and Mars exploratory missions.
Why It Matters: News of the launch comes in as SpaceX is making moves in the space exploration sector, having recently emerged as a ‘frontrunner' for key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44861620/spacex-palantir-frontrunners-in-bid-that-could-build-donald-trumps-golden-dome-report">Pentagon defense contracts</a>.

Memecoins followed Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Sunday evening breakout, with Fartcoin again spearheading the sector-wide rally.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based cryptocurrency spiked 4.67% over the previous day, becoming the biggest gainer among the top ten meme coins by market capitalization.

Interestingly, a whale who had suffered big losses on previous FARTCOIN transactions and was holding unrealized losses flipped the script, selling around $2.47 million worth of memecoin for a $127,000 profit, according to Lookonchain.

Zions Bancorp Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has opened a new front in the Republican civil war, branding tech billionaire Elon Musk "evil" and a "techno‑feudalist" bent on remaking humanity with brain chips.
What Happened: In a fresh <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-bannon-prison-more-powerful-musk-trump-maga-third-term-2025-4">interview</a> with Business Insider, Bannon said Musk's Neuralink project, which recently implanted its first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44358022/paralyzed-man-moves-objects-with-his-mind-thanks-to-elon-musks-brain-chip">wireless interface</a> in a human subject, amounts to "satanism with a brain chip." "By seeking to implant computer chips in people's brains, Musk is attempting to disrupt humanity itself," Bannon said. "We are on the side of the human being."
Neuralink <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38920514/elon-musks-neuralink-receives-fda-approval-for-second-human-brain-chip-implant-report">won</a> U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance last year and has reported that early patients can move a computer cursor by thought alone, a milestone Musk argues will help paralyzed people and eventually "merge humans with AI."
Bannon's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42935180/steve-bannon-targets-elon-musk-pledges-to-expel-him-from-maga-movement-he-is-a-truly-evil-guy">assault</a> has previously drawn fire from Musk, who posted on X in February that Bannon is "a great talker, but not a great doer. What did he get done this week? Nothing."

Why It Matters: Their clash pits two influential voices competing for Donald Trump's ear. Bannon hosts the hard‑right "War Room" podcast and says he is helping craft the campaign's "Flood the Zone" messaging. Musk, meanwhile, has become a GOP hero for slashing federal bureaucracy and championing cryptocurrency.
The feud also exposes ideological rifts inside MAGA ranks. Bannon rails against H‑1B visas and "globalist" tech, while Musk relies on high‑skill immigration for Tesla, SpaceX, and X. Trump reportedly urged the men to bury the hatchet, but Bannon tells Business Insider the president has "more important things to do."
Bannon insists the stakes are spiritual. "Elon was always evil," he said. "It is a massive leap for humankind, and we won't be the same people on the other side."

Steve Bannon Says Elon Musk Is 'Evil,' Blasts His Brain Chip Ambitions As 'Techno‑Feudalist' Plot To Hijack Humanity's Future

The latest data shows a split in U.S. trucking volumes since the tariffs were announced early this month, with certain regions and sectors performing significantly better than the others.
What Happened: On Sunday, Craig Fuller, the founder and CEO of FreightWaves Inc., a supply chain and logistics intelligence service, shared some stats on his X account regarding the performance of several regional trucking markets since the tariffs were announced, and what they mean for different sectors.
Fuller states that, based on the data compiled by his company, freight markets with exposure to agriculture and oil and gas markets are doing well since the trade war began. On the other hand, those serving retail and manufacturing segments are struggling, with heavy manufacturing getting completely &#8220;obliterated.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Based on trucking volume data, freight markets with large exposure to ag and oil/gas are doing well since the trade war started. Freight markets serving retail and manufacturing are struggling, with heavy manufacturing getting completely obliterated.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

When asked if there are any correlations between freight markets and the earnings of different industries, Fuller says that they do, with dozens of hedge funds buying their data for this very reason.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Fuller then covered the latest figures for each of the major trucking markets within the United States, while explaining what they mean for different industries. 
Kansas City and Omaha are the only two markets that witnessed a YoY increase in volumes, by 7% and 6%, respectively, with both cities being major agricultural hubs. Similarly, Houston, a major oil production, refining, and processing center, saw a mere 3% YoY decline in trucking volumes, hinting at the sector&#8217;s resilience in the face of tariffs.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Other major markets, especially those focused on manufacturing, aren&#8217;t faring too well, with Fuller adding that &#8220;If domestic manufacturing were picking up the slack from declining imports, it would be reflected in the trucking volumes out of a few major industrial markets.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Atlanta: Trucking volumes down 12% YoY. 1/ <a href="https://t.co/j9FnALicIc">pic.twitter.com/j9FnALicIc</a>
&mdash; Craig Fuller &#x1f6e9;&#x1f69b;&#x1f682;&#x2693;&#xFE0F; (@FreightAlley) <a href="https://twitter.com/FreightAlley/status/1913659300880281920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 19, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
According to FreightWaves data, Atlanta, Dallas, and Chicago volumes are down 12%, 13%, and 19% YoY, respectively. The biggest decline was seen in Cleveland, a major manufacturing hub, which is down 35% YoY. 
Why It Matters: This comes amid growing consensus that tariffs will not help U.S. manufacturing. According to a recent <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44812675/us-manufacturing-unlikely-to-benefit-from-tariffs-survey-indicates-majority-feels-trump-team-is-bullying-corporate-america">supply chain survey</a> by CNBC, nearly half of the respondents say that President Donald Trump&#8217;s trade wars will lead companies to search for other low-tariff regimes, instead of reshoring.
U.S. manufacturing had already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44588076/us-manufacturing-slips-into-contraction-as-tariff-driven-costs-hit-near-3-year-high">slipped into contraction</a> in March, even before the major &#8216;Liberation Day&#8217; tariffs were announced. This decline was attributed to rising input prices as companies began stockpiling inventories to avoid the forthcoming tariffs.
The CEO of Blackrock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), Larry Fink also <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44661665/manufacturing-resurgence-not-without-a-workforce-says-blackrocks-fink">held a similar stance</a>, stating that &#8220;The USA doesn&#8217;t even have enough workers to become a manufacturing economy,&#8221; during the CERAWeek energy conference last week.
