NEW YORK, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Lucent Technologies Inc. shares hit a two-year low on Monday as market rumors resurfaced that the telecommunications equipment maker may miss its profit and revenue targets for the fiscal fourth quarter and its chairman may be forced to resign, analysts and traders said.

In heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Lucent`s <LU.N> stock lost $1-1/16 to close at $30-3/4, a price not seen since October 1998. Lucent`s stock has lost nearly 59 percent so far this year.

"The word is that they are going to miss the quarter and that (Lucent Chairman Rich) McGinn is on the street and they`ve hired (executive search firm) Korn/Ferry to find a replacement," said one industry analyst who declined to be named.

One source close to Lucent disputed the market speculation that McGinn was leaving the company. Lucent declined to comment. Korn/Ferry International did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

The rumors underscored the pressure Murray Hill, N.J.-based Lucent faces as it attempts to rebuild investor confidence, catch up to rivals in the booming optical networking industry and restructure its operations.

"It`s time for a change from a stock perspective and a revenue turn-around perspective," said Frank Dzubeck, president of consultancy Communications Network Architects Inc.

"There`s tremendous pressure on Lucent, and McGinn, in particular. If they have a good quarter, he gets a reprieve. He has a quarter-by-quarter lease on life. If they miss the quarter, he won`t be there for the (earnings) conference call," said another analyst who declined to be named.

Lucent stock has been weak since January when the company said it had been unable to manufacture new-generation networking products fast enough to keep up with robust customer demand.

Lucent admitted it failed to gauge customers` quick shift toward high-speed fiber optic products and it fell behind rivals such as Nortel Networks Corp. <NT.N><NT.TO> Lucent has been battling Nortel and Cisco Systems Inc. <CSCO.O> to supply telephone companies, Internet service providers and large corporations with sophisticated equipment that can handle increasingly large volumes of data and voice traffic.

Catching up to its rivals has been more difficult and time- consuming than Lucent planned, forcing the company to trim its growth outlook twice this year.

In July, the company said its fourth-quarter pro forma earnings per share would grow only about 15 percent and revenues would increase 15 percent, below Lucent`s previous forecast of 20 percent growth.

Wall Street expects Lucent to post ongoing pro forma earnings of 27 cents a share, compared with 25 cents a share a year ago, according to research firm First Call/Thomson Financial.

Lucent has been working to restructure its operations so it can focus on its faster-growing optical, data networking and wireless businesses. It also moved to improve its optical operations by splitting the unit into two businesses focused on different product lines. The head of the unit, Harry Bosco, left under pressure in August.

"Everyone else has been shot in the head, but he`s (McGinn) the one that should go. They should take McGinn out to the woodshed. I think it was time for him to go a while ago," said one financial analyst who declined to be named.

Lucent also is spinning off its $8 billion Avaya unit, which provides technology for operator call centers and corporate campuses and its microelectronics unit, which makes optical components and semiconductors. Avaya will begin trading as an independent company on Monday, Oct. 2.

More changes are expected. The company plans to cut overhead costs, improve procurement procedures and introduce other major organizational changes in the coming months, company sources have said.

hab ich auf Bloomberg gelesen.
habs schon mal gepostet deshalb nur der Hinweis.

Die Aktie befindet sich einfach in schlechter Verfassung. Ihr solltet euch mal überlegen ob es nicht sinnvoll ist etwas zu verkaufen.
