Nokia Oyj: Can It Capitalize On The Network Infrastructure Growth & Favorable Mobile Networks Dynamics?

The latest quarter for Nokia indicates a mixed performance with both enhancing opportunities and emerging challenges. Starting with positives, the company reported good growth in the Network Infrastructure and Cloud and Network Services segments. Nokia’s acquisition of Infinera seems to have bolstered their Optical Networks business, shown by a robust book-to-bill ratio that exceeded 1, highlighting solid commercial momentum. The company also pointed to significant growth opportunities among hyperscalers in Optical Networks, and it remains a promising area with increased order intakes from these customers constituting 5% of the net sales for the quarter.
