Interesting WSJ article...

Lucent was the most actively traded stock on the New York Stock Exchange in 2004, and remains high on the list. Analysts attribute the robust volume to Lucent's low price and large number of shares outstanding. Here's an excerpt from the debate surrounding Lucent's outlook. THE BULL CASE: Analysts have cited strength from Lucent's wireless deployments, including new business from Verizon Wireless and Cingular. Network upgrades from the newly combined Sprint Nextel could generate as much as $200 million in revenue for Lucent, analysts say. Lucent may benefit from new contract awards in the coming months as carriers finalize their 2006 spending plans. This likely will be a boon for Lucent shares. THE BEAR CASE: Lucent is adjusting too slowly to the switch from fixed-line telecom to Internet-based technologies, analysts say. The company's next-generation VOIP infrastructure won't build business quickly enough to offset holes in the traditional product portfolio, they fear. Lucent also isn't up to speed in providing equipment for Ethernet technology, used by Internet-service providers in the hot market to supply high-speed connections to customers, some analysts say.
