Earnings Warning Provides a Boost for Evening Trading Systems New York, Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) - Lucent Technologies Inc.'s profit warning yesterday was costly for the phone-equipment maker's shareholders but a boon for after-hours trading systems catering to individual investors. On MarketXT, more than 110,000 Lucent shares changed hands yesterday, the company said. That was MarketXT's busiest stock since it began trading Aug. 25. MarketXT matches trades for Salomon Smith Barney and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. customers from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Thursday. The RediBook electronic network handled 2 million Lucent shares yesterday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., a single-stock record, President Larry Leibowitz said. RediBook is owned in part by Charles Schwab Corp., Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Inc. and Fidelity Investments. In after-hours trading yesterday, Lucent plunged 17 1/16, or 25 percent, to 52 after it said first-quarter earnings fell to 36 cents to 39 cents -- below the 54 cents analysts expected. Reuters Plc's Instinet Corp., which trades primarily for institutional investors 24 hours a day, handled 7 million Lucent shares last night and 7 million more today before the 9:30 a.m. opening of the New York Stock Exchange. A spokeswoman for the 30-year-old system said the activity didn't set a record.
