This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

Nokia has experienced a significant turnaround, evolving from its previous struggles in the mobile phone market to becoming an AI infrastructure player, with its stock price tripling in the past year. A strategic partnership with Nvidia, which involves a $1 billion investment to develop AI radio-access networks, has positioned Nokia favorably in the expanding AI and cloud sectors. The company reported solid earnings and revenue growth, particularly in its AI and cloud business, which saw a 49% increase in net sales in Q1. Despite these positive indicators, there are concerns regarding the timing of their resurgence and the volatility of the telecom sector, which still contributes largely to their business model. Investors may consider initiating a position but might also wait for a price correction.

DON'T BUY

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

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 22/20, Down 11.7%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We are recommending the exit of NOK as it has breached our recommended stop-loss at $3.75. The company just reported earnings that missed on both the top and bottom lines and reduced its balance of 2020 guidance by 10%. We are going to be disciplined and look for better opportunities.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly NOK is emerging as a key 5G player, being #2 in holding 5G essential standard patents. As China-based Huawei continues to be embroiled with the US over national security issues, this is not an issue for this Finland based company. With next year's earnings growth exceeding 19% against its forward PE of only 13, this is good value here. We also like how the rally through October continues to hold its momentum. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $3.75 and look for a technical based objective back towards recent highs near $5.15 -- 20% upside. It pays a good dividend, backed by a 40% payout ratio. Yield 2.62% (Analysts’ price target is $5.03)
DON'T BUY
Their product is too expensive, making the stock unattractive.
DON'T BUY

Will its downturn continue? The Samsung deal with Verizon yesterday was huge and was a nail in the coffin of Nokia. He wishes they'd do a reverse split. The risk/reward is poor and is poised to sell further.

BUY

Nokia vs. Ericsson These companies have come into their own since the US government has pressured other government to not use Huawei for their 5G networks. Ericsson has done well in 5G. Nokia made an acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent that was difficult to pull off but has since gotten a lot better. Nokia will do a little better than Ericsson. Nokia has new management.

COMMENT

5G deployment is a key theme for him right now. NOK and CSCO are others in the space. He much prefers ERIC overall -- he thinks it could go to $12 per share.

COMMENT

He does not own AMT today. In 5G, he prefers CSCO and NOK.

COMMENT

A 5G producer? He has put his money on Ericsson, due to the their footprint and market share. Nokia has not been as consistent. This is a good time to enter he thinks and it is an area you can trade in.

DON'T BUY
They surprised the market by suspending their dividend and announcing their guidance to be way below where analysts expected. They are blaming slow spending on 5G. They seem to have a tough time meeting expectations. Stay away.
HOLD
5G? He owns this. There are three main manufacturers for 5G hardware -- and this is one of them. It trades around 5 Euros and he has a target at 5.60 Euros. It is like the gold rush, do you go after the gold or sell the picks and shovels. 5G will be revolutionary and he feels this is a good way to participate.
DON'T BUY
Avoid, because of all the confusion over 5G and whether Huawei will be allowed to participate. If Huawei is banned from selling 5G products, then NOK and others can fill the void. If Huweit does participate, then we can have too many products on the market and drive down prices. You don't want to compete against a company with their size.
COMMENT
Toppy, out of favour. The whole group is out of favour. If you like the story, it looks OK. We'll be stuck in this range for quite some time.
WAIT
Nokia vs. Ericsson. He's taken profit on both, and they're out of both and looking for them to come back. Nokia top and bottom line missed on both. For Ericsson, he'd look to buy back in around 890. Both benefited from the Huawei controversy. But now a lot of the European telecoms and IT companies are buying from Huawei.
HOLD
Looks fine. Watch if you don't own it. It's been holding $6 since 2014. Only news will make this rise.
