"We would not welcome the Alcatel-Lucent link-up, especially given [Lucent's] chequered history and shaky balance sheet," said Andrew Dunn, analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. The chances of a deal going ahead were less than 5 per cent, he added.
The chance of taking control of Lucent on the cheap might outweigh some of those concerns, given that the two are said to be discussing a merger that would not involve Alcatel paying a premium for Lucent.
For Lucent shareholders, on the other hand, a deal would represent "selling out at the bottom", said one Wall Street analyst.
Lucent's shares have rebounded from their low point in April, when rumours that the company faced possible bankruptcy began to swirl. But they remain nearly 90 per cent below their record high, currently valuing the company at about $34.5bn - less than the $36.5bn of Alcatel.
