Nokia Oyj (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) shares are trading higher by 1.25% to $4.46 Wednesday afternoon, ahead of the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/24/10/41359054/nokia-earnings-preview">third-quarter earnings report</a>, confirmed for Thursday&#8217;s pre-market session.
Additionally, per Reuters, Nokia is in exclusive negotiations with Bharti Airtel, one of India&#8217;s largest telecom companies, for a multi-billion-dollar 5G contract. 
This suggests a promising opportunity that could significantly boost Nokia&#8217;s revenue and market position in the 5G sector. However, the situation is complicated in that Airtel is also in discussions with Samsung for 5G equipment, Reuters reports.
Why This Matters: The fact that Airtel is exploring options with another major vendor like Samsung introduces uncertainty. Investors might see this as a potential risk, where Nokia could either secure a major deal or lose part of it to a competitor. If Samsung captures a substantial portion of the contract or if negotiations with Nokia fall through, it could negatively impact investor confidence.
Additionally, 5G contracts are seen as key drivers for telecom equipment providers like Nokia, given the global push for next-generation networks. This means that news related to such contracts, especially involving large telecom operators in growing markets like India, is closely monitored.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NOK Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Nokia &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Nokia, which is trading at $4.43 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 22.57 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NOK has a 52-week high of $4.52 and a 52-week low of $2.94.

Nokia In Exclusive Talks With India's Bharti Airtel For Multi-Billion Dollar 5G Contract; Airtel Also In Discussions With Samsung For 5G Equipment Purchase, Sources Say

<a href="https://cenerva.com/fr/5G-news/grupo-ice-picks-nokia-to-deploy-fwa-5g-network-for-racsa-unit/" title="https://cenerva.com/fr/5G-news/grupo-ice-picks-nokia-to-deploy-fwa-5g-network-for-racsa-unit/">https://cenerva.com/fr/5G-news/grupo-ice-picks-nokia-to-deploy-fwa-5g-network-for-racsa-unit/</a>

'Grupo ICE Picks Nokia To Deploy FWA 5G Network For RACSA Unit' - Cenerva

Nokia Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nok#NYSE">NOK</a>) is set to report its third-quarter 2024 results on Oct. 17, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, it reported adjusted earnings of 6 cents per share.
The company is expected to witness a revenue contraction year over year, owing to demand softness in several business segments. Intensifying competition, macroeconomic headwinds, and growing geopolitical unrest are major headwinds. However, efforts to bolster the position in the 5G ecosystem with a strong emphasis on innovation and portfolio expansion are positive.
<h2>Factors at Play</h2>
In the third quarter, Nokia secured a multi-year agreement for an undisclosed amount from AT&amp;T Inc. to help modernize the fiber infrastructure of the telecom carrier. Per the five-year deal, Nokia will deploy its Lightspan MF and Altiplano platforms to develop state-of-the-art networks to cater to the growing demand for more capacity and enhanced broadband services. Nokia has also entered into a three-year agreement with Vodafone Idea Limited to enhance and expand its 4G and 5G networks in India.
The company also inked a multi-year 5G RAN (Radio Access Network) contract with MEO, one of Portugal&#39;s leading mobile operators to upgrade its network infrastructure. These are likely to have supported Nokia&#39;s top line during the quarter.
During the quarter, Nokia inked a partnership agreement with Telekom Malaysia to enhance data center connectivity across Malaysia by deploying a cutting-edge Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing network. A Taiwan-based broadband operator, Homeplus, deployed Nokia&#39;s state-of-the-art PON fiber solution to strengthen network visibility and improve end-user experience.
A prominent Brazilian telecommunication company, TiM Brasil, has leveraged NOK&#39;s industry-leading 5G AirScale portfolio to expand its 5G Radio Access Network coverage across Brazil. These customer wins are expected to have a positive impact on the third-quarter results.
In the quarter under review, Nokia Bell Labs, the research wing of Nokia, inked a year-long, non-binding memorandum of understanding with e&amp; to collaborate on research &amp; development efforts on artificial intelligence-based use cases across various industrial sectors.
However, a slowdown in 5G investment in several regions, including India, intensifying competition is expected to have hindered Nokia&#39;s top-line growth. Growing geopolitical instability remains a major concern.
Our estimate for revenues from the Mobile Networks vertical is pegged at &euro;1.86 billion ($2.04 billion), suggesting a 13.6% year-over-year decline. For the Network Infrastructure segment, our estimate for revenues is pegged at &euro;1.87 billion ($2.05 billion), implying 21.9% year-over-year growth. Revenues from Cloud &amp; Network Services are estimated at &euro;789.3 million ($867.4 million).
For the September Quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s total revenues is pegged at $5.10 billion, indicating a decrease from $5.42 billion reported in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings per share are pegged at 7 cents, suggesting an increase from the prior-year quarter&#39;s tally of 5 cents.
<h2>Earnings Whispers</h2>
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Nokia this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is 0.00%, with both pegged at 7 cents.

Will Nokia's Q3 Earnings be Hurt by a Top Line Contraction?

Ciena Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cien#NYSE">CIEN</a>) can be considered a legacy company in the computer and technology sector when it comes to the Internet. It was one of the original manufacturers of optical fiber, which provided networking switches and connectivity solutions since 1992. The company has managed to stay relevant, unlike so many internet boom companies, and remains on the cutting edge of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Ciena is essential to the AI boom as it provides one of the crucial elements required&nbsp;for&nbsp;AI deployment: high bandwidth&nbsp;and low latency connectivity.
Ciena operates in the computer and technology sector, competing with networking companies like Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csco#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Juniper Networks Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>), which was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hpe#NYSE">HPE</a>), and Infinera Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/infn#NASDAQ">INFN</a>) which is being acquired by Nokia Oyj (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nok#NYSE">NOK</a>).
<h2>How Ciena Is Essential to the AI Revolution </h2>
Ciena is a leader in the optical networking segment, as its products enable long-distance, high-capacity data transmission solutions for the backbones of numerous networks. Data transmission volumes will only grow, driven by AI deployment and cloud computing. Its optical transceivers enable low-latency transmission, which is essential for AI applications to relay responsiveness and fast performance. Its Blue Planet AI-powered software-defined network (SDN) enables network operators to program, automate, and manage networks, orchestrate end-to-end services, and scale bandwidth on demand as needed.
<h2>Cloud Providers Lead the Recovery &nbsp;</h2>
Ciena is approaching positive normalization after many volatile years driven by the pandemic shortage and post-pandemic inventory glut. Cloud providers are leading the recovery, building out networks to support cloud and growing AI traffic.&nbsp;Data centers are a big chunk of Ciena&#39;s cloud provider clients. Three of the four major cloud providers are driving demand for Ciena&#39;s 400 ZR, a high-capacity datacenter interconnect (DCI) capable of transmitting 400 GB ethernet over DCI links, targeting a minimum of 80 kilometers.
Ciena&#39;s other client group, service providers, is experiencing a gradual recovery as the inventory glut is digested. Ciena still expects the U.S. to recover fully in a few quarters, while Europe continues to lag due to geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds.
<h2>Gloomy Headline Numbers Underscore Improving Metrics </h2>
Ciena&#39;s third-quarter of 2024 earnings report was a sign of relief as results underscore the recovery occurring, enabling a turnaround after many negative quarters. The company reported EPS of 35 cents, beating analyst expectations by 6 cents. GAAP net income was $14.2 million, down from $29.7 million last year. Adjusted net income was $50.8 million, which was also lower than the $89.1 million non-GAAP income in the year-ago period. Revenue fell 11.8% YoY to $942.3 million, which was better than expected compared to the consensus estimates of $928.31 million. Ciena reported a strong book-to-bill ratio above 1, indicating stronger demand that it can fulfill.
<h2>Ciena Issues Flat Guidance </h2>
Ciena expects revenues of $1.06 billion to $1.14 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 versus $1.12 billion in consensus estimates. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be in the low 40% range, and adjusted operating expenses are expected to be around $350 million. Full-year 2024 revenues are estimated at around $4 billion, with a 4% to 8% CAGR long-term. CIEN stock tumbled 7% the following days.
Ciena CEO Gary Smith commented, &quot;We delivered strong results for the fiscal third quarter that reflect growing momentum with cloud providers and continued gradual recovery with service providers. With leading innovation that is well-aligned with our customers&#39; focus on building cloud and AI-capable infrastructures, we are well-positioned to continue to gain share and deliver profitable growth.&quot;
On Oct. 2, 2024, Ciena announced a $1 billion stock buyback program commencing in fiscal 2025 and ending in fiscal 2027. CIEN stock surged 7% on the announcement.
<h2>CIEN Is Forming a Potential ABCD Reversal Pattern </h2>
An ABCD pattern is a harmonic reversal pattern comprised of two higher peaks and one higher low. The pattern resembles a rising lightning bolt. A market structure high (MSL) sell trigger often triggers the reversal.
<img alt="Ciena CIEN stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20241006191744_charta-cien.jpg" style="height:753px; width:915px" />
CIEN stock initially sold off on its earnings report and guidance to a swing low of $50.83, forming the C-point. Shares rallied higher through the B-point pre-earnings peak at $59.42 to continue higher toward an imminent D-point, which could trigger a reversal. The daily anchored VWAP support is rising at $56.78. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is rising to the 75-band. Fibonacci (Fib) pullback support levels are at $62.91, $57.69, $53.76, and $50.83. 
Ciena&#39;s average consensus price target is $61.00, and its highest analyst price target&nbsp;is&nbsp;$68.00.&nbsp;Analysts have given it 10 Buy ratings and three Hold ratings.

Amazon Disagrees With Court's Decision In Nokia Case, Confident In Quick Resolution; Confirms Fire TV Devices Remain Available And Expresses Disappointment In Nokia's Actions

Nokia Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nok#NYSE">NOK</a>) recently inked an agreement with iSAT Africa for an undisclosed amount to enhance broadband connectivity across rural areas in Liberia. The three-year deal spanning more than 200 sites in the West African country aims to bridge the digital divide by providing a reliable, affordable and easily accessible network to underserved rural communities.
<h2>How NOK Likely Secured the Deal</h2>
Nokia is well-positioned for the ongoing technology cycle, given the strength of its end-to-end portfolio. Its installed base of high-capacity AirScale products, which enables customers to upgrade to 5G quickly, is growing fast. It is driving the transition of global enterprises into smart virtual networks by creating a single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed broadband, IP routing and optical networks with the software and services to manage them. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, it is transforming the way people and things communicate and connect.
The company aims to create new business and licensing opportunities in the consumer ecosystem. It facilitates customers to move away from an economy-of-scale network operating model to demand-driven operations by offering easy programmability and flexible automation required to support dynamic operations, reduce complexity and improve efficiency. It seeks to expand its business into targeted, high-growth and high-margin vertical markets to address growth opportunities beyond its traditional primary markets.
<h2>What This Collaboration Brings on the Table</h2>
Nokia&#39;s partnership with this integrated communications services provider that specializes in broadcasting &amp; rural connectivity in Africa and the Middle East will seek to drive socio-economic development in the remote areas of Liberia. Per the deal, Nokia will deploy its AirScale radio portfolio along with MantaRay Network Management solutions for effective monitoring and management capabilities to address critical challenges such as limited coverage and the wide digital divide in rural regions.
<h2>Will NOK Stock Benefit?</h2>
Nokia has emerged as one of the leading players in the development of advanced 5G technology and is at the forefront of extending 5G use cases in various industries. It has laid a strong foundation of innovation through substantial infrastructure investments. This has led to the establishment of an impressive portfolio comprising approximately 20,000 patent families, including more than 6,000 patent families that are deemed crucial to 5G technology.
The collaboration with iSAT Africa is likely to propel the stock on incremental revenue generation and inducement of similar deals from other carriers in the future. The agreement is also expected to strengthen Nokia&#39;s position as a leading telecommunications equipment provider in the region.
The stock has gained 16.7% over the past six months compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 12.9%.

CoreWeave Has Selected Nokia To Deploy Its IP Routing And Optical Transport Portfolios Globally As Part Of An Extensive Backbone Build-out, With Immediate Roll-out Across Its Data Centers In US And Europe

Nokia Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) is actively searching for a new CEO as it struggles with declining sales and a depressed share price.
What Happened: The Finnish telecom equipment giant has approached potential candidates to replace current CEO Pekka Lundmark, who has been at the helm since 2020. The search is ongoing, with at least one headhunter involved in the process, Financial Times reported <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5f086aee-91b9-421a-9f32-c33e67b1af7f">citing</a>, people familiar with the matter.
Lundmark, who initially stabilized the company, has faced criticism for failing to boost revenues. Despite restructuring efforts and cost-cutting measures, Nokia&#8217;s sales remain lower than they were in 2016, following its €15.6 billion acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.
Additionally, Nokia is seeking a new chair as Sari Baldauf approaches her 70th birthday next year. Outsiders have been contacted, and the new chair is not expected to come from the current board, according to the report.
In a statement, Nokia said, &#8220;The Board fully supports President and CEO Pekka Lundmark and is not undergoing a process to replace him.&#8221; The company emphasized its ongoing assessment of leadership succession plans, according to the report.
The search for new leadership comes as Nokia grapples with sluggish spending by telecom operators and increased competition from rivals like Ericsson and Huawei.

Why It Matters: Nokia&#8217;s leadership shakeup comes on the heels of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39834407/nokias-q2-earnings-record-low-revenue-as-5g-investment-slows-annual-outlook-cut-stock-slides">several significant developments</a>. In July, Nokia reported a fiscal second-quarter 2024 net sales decline of 18% year-on-year, marking a record low since 2015. 
This drop was attributed to weak investment in mobile network upgrades, particularly in the 5G equipment market, prompting Nokia to overhaul its network infrastructure division.
In June, Nokia announced its acquisition of Infinera Corporation in a transaction valuing the company at $6.65 per share, or an enterprise value of $2.3 billion. This acquisition aimed to bolster Nokia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/06/39537794/nokia-to-acquire-infinera-infineras-stock-soars">optical networking capabilities</a>.

AT&T Shares Are On The Rise: What's Going On

Nokia Oyj&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) disclosed a multi-year agreement with AT&amp;T Inc.

The five-year deal includes upgrading AT&amp;T&#8217;s current fiber infrastructure and implementing next-gen technologies for future expansions.
Nokia plans to supply its Lightspan MF and Altiplano platforms to support AT&amp;T&#8217;s extensive fiber network, which passed 27.8 million total fiber locations as of the second quarter of 2024.
The company&#8217;s fiber solutions enable AT&amp;T to swiftly build a future-ready network, supporting next-gen PON technologies and enhanced automation through the Altiplano Access Controller.
