Alcatel slips on worries over Lucent By Malini Guha Published: July 11 2006 10:08 \| Last updated: July 11 2006 10:08 Alcatel said on Tuesday that second quarter sales rose in line with expectations but shares in the French telecoms equipment group fell after Lucent Technologies, the US group with which it has agreed a merger, reported falling sales and earnings that missed analysts' forecasts. Alcatel said that revenues in the second quarter rose 7.5 per cent over the same period last year to €3.38bn. The operating margin, including a 0.3 per cent impact from an exceptional gain from a disposal of fixed assets, fell from about 8.3 per cent to 8 per cent.
