Stockchase Opinions

Francis GannonNokiaNOKTOP PICKNov 12, 2004

A cheap stock. Got hurt earlier in the year, but has great fundamentals. Introducing new products. Will spend less money on R&D next year, so earnings will grow more.

TOP PICK

In the last quarter, the company reported 0.06 USD per share, beating the 0.04 USD estimate by 32.96%. Revenue for the same period reached 5.27 B USD, despite the estimate of 5.33 B USD. For the next quarter, analysts expect 0.06 USD in earnings per share and 5.60 B USD in revenue. Social media mentions are up 819% in the past 24h.

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.
DON'T BUY

Samsung is doing well, but not Nokia. They're frankly not good enough.
