Nokia Shares Jump on Friday, Investors Focus on AI Network Play
Nokia shares rose 8.2% to 13.09 euros in Helsinki late Friday, far outpacing the OMX Helsinki 25 index’s 0.9% gain. The rally followed Nokia’s launch of an AI networking lab in Sunnyvale, California, with partners including AMD and Lenovo. Investors have increased bets on Nokia’s AI and cloud business since April, after the company reported a 49% jump in sales to those customers.
