BUY ON WEAKNESS

They once dominated cell phones, then left for dead a long time ago. But NOK has tripled in the past year, because it's become an AI infrastructure story. NOK's hardware allows data centres to move data around networks quickly with low latency. Last October, Nvidia partnered with Nokia to build commercial-grade, AI radio-access networks and will invest $1 billion in Nokia. NOK is up 165% in 6 months. NOK can make every cell tower into a distributed AI node. NOK's AI and cloud net sales in Q1 were up 49% and booked 1 billion euros of AI and cloud orders. Cash flows and revenues are strong. The new CEO is another positive. They target annual comparable operating profit from 2 billion euros in 2025 to 2.7-3.2 billion by 2028. Problem is, he's late to the game and the stock is already up and has an Nvidia halo. Because NOK is tied to AI sentiment, NOK has to deliver. Also, the legacy telco business remains a big part of their business. Telcos are a choppy business. You could buy a small position or wait for a pullback.

BUY

It's considered the cloud part of the data centre trade, plus it has a great defense contract.

PARTIAL BUY

It is in a good formation with a rounded bottom and he likes it. It is in a mini uptrend after forming a base at the end of a downtrend. It is trying to break out of the last point of resistance. It is OK for legging in.

DON'T BUY

They have fallen behind all peers. Avoid.

DON'T BUY

It is more of an infrastructure company now. 5G has not grown as fast as anticipated. There are better places to invest 5G money such as Qualcom and maybe even Apple.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With a strategy of expanding its 5G equipment rollout into such markets as China and Taiwan, we reiterate NOK as a TOP PICK. Although its feature phones are ranked 3rd in global sales (and doing great in developing markets globally), we like their 5G strategy. Trading at 15x next year's earnings, it is good value here. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $4.75) to $5.00, looking to achieve $7.50 -- upside potential over 25%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $7.41)

DON'T BUY

Will 5G lift this stock? It was THE phone story before Androids. Phone own Nokias now. It's challenged as a pure-play phone company. Perhaps they should get out of phones. 5G is interesting for NOK; you can make a business case that they have upside ahead, given shifting competition around the globe. Overall, though, he'd stay away from Nokia.

WATCH

It's improving, no longer in critical care, and now recuperating.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He is warming up to this for the first time since 1998. They're doing things right and he's waiting for the price to fall further.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Almost always at the top of the volatility names. An important name in Europe. Coming off the long term range from last year. Probably some more upside but not a lot. A range trader.

BUY

They're making a comeback. Perhaps part of this is due to the crackdown by the Chinese government against NOK's competitors, but at $5.80 this is a buy.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly NOK has been expanding its 5G equipment rollout into such markets as China and Taiwan. This is expected to help return profitability this year and help advance EPS growth back over 16% over the next five years. Trading at 17x next year's earnings, it is good value here. We would buy this with a stop loss at $4.75, looking to achieve $7.25 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $7.16)

BUY

They delivered a good quarter. He likes it.
