Alcatel-Lucent Gets $6B Deal from Verizon
By Mark Evans | March 26, 2007
Alcatel-Lucent has snagged a three-year, $6-billion contract to supply hardware, software and services to Verizon Wireless, which wants to expand its network to offer high-speed access and video. The deal comes three months after Nortel unveiled a $2-billion, five-year contract with Verizon. “While not wholly unexpected … it is encouraging that Verizon is extending its strong Lucent ties to the merged company,” said Prudential Equity Group analyst Inder M. Singh, who rates Alcatel-Lucent “over-weight” with a target price of $23.
