Nokia (NOK) has seen a remarkable resurgence, tripling in value over the past year, primarily due to its pivot towards AI infrastructure, particularly in data center capabilities. The company recently formed a significant partnership with Nvidia, which involves a $1 billion investment to develop AI radio-access networks. Financially, Nokia has demonstrated strong performance, with a 49% increase in AI and cloud net sales in Q1 and a solid stream of new orders. Although the new CEO brings a positive outlook for the future, and targets substantial profit growth by 2028, concerns linger about the company's legacy telecom business and potential delays in innovation. Analysts are cautiously optimistic, with notable earnings beats and rising social media engagement indicating renewed interest in the stock, though the timing of entry remains debated among experts.
