Nokia Oyj
Nokia Oyj is a telecom equipment company. It designs and sells the hardware and software that mobile carriers and network operators use to build and run phone networks, including radio access gear, core network systems, network management software, and related services. It also sells networking products for fixed-line broadband and private wireless networks, so it sits in the middle of the communications infrastructure that connects phones, homes, factories, and businesses. Its main customers are mobile operators, internet service providers, governments, and large enterprises that need secure, reliable networks. Nokia makes money by selling equipment, licensing software, and providing long-term support, integration, and network services. In some areas it also earns royalty income from its technology and patents, which gives it a different mix than a pure hardware supplier. What makes Nokia’s business model distinctive is that it helps other companies build the backbone of telecom networks rather than selling directly to consumers. Its work is tied to long project cycles, technical standards, and ongoing maintenance, so customer relationships tend to be sticky and service-heavy. That makes Nokia an important supplier in the telecommunications value chain, with a business built around infrastructure, software, and intellectual property rather than retail products.

Strong start: Nokia reported first-quarter net sales of EUR 4.5 billion, up 4%, with operating margin at 6.2% and free cash flow of EUR 629 million.
AI demand: Management said AI and cloud momentum accelerated, with sales up 49% and EUR 1 billion of new orders, led by Optical Networks.
Guidance lifted: Nokia raised its 2026 growth outlook for Network Infrastructure to 12% to 14% from 6% to 8%, and for Optical and IP Networks combined to 18% to 20% from 10% to 12%.
Supply confidence: The company said stronger confidence in supply, plus early traction in IP networking, helped support the higher outlook, while demand remained strong.
Cash and margins: Gross margin improved sharply, helped by Infinera synergies and the absence of a prior-year charge, while cash generation was strong and net cash ended at EUR 3.8 billion.
AI buildout: Nokia described the AI network opportunity as a multi-year structural shift, with hyperscaler capex expectations rising and longer lead times becoming normal.
