RESEARCH ALERT-Lucent raised to strong buy

NEW YORK, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Warburg Dillon Read raised its rating on Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:LU - news) to strong buy from buy, the investment firm said on Tuesday.

-- The price target remains at $82, based on a multiple of 50 against calendar 2000 earnings per share estimates of $1.65.

-- The recent weakness in the stock amid investor concerns about the September quarter and the fundamental outlook for the company is unwarranted and creates a buying opportunity.

-- said Lucent could exceed Warburg's estimate of $0.27 a share and report $0.29 when it releases its earnings on Oct. 26.
