Nokia Faces 72% H2 Profit Hurdle as Ericsson Flags AI Costs

Nokia Oyj’s shares slipped 2.5% to €10.30 in Helsinki at 16:44 EEST after investors reacted to a cost warning from Ericsson. The AI-driven rally is under the microscope, as nearly 75% of the company’s consensus comparable operating profit for the year is still to be generated in the back half. Focus has shifted—demand isn’t the main concern now.

Nokia shares jumped on €5.5B defense-AI news—Ericsson moves in focus

Nokia Oyj heads into Monday with the Helsinki market closed for the weekend, after big swings last week. Shares soared 9.64% on Thursday as the company showed off its first operational results from the NestAI defence partnership. Nokia finished Friday at €10.90. Thursday's rally pushed up market value by about €5.5 billion, using the 5.6 billion shares not owned by the company, or 55 times the €100 million joint investment from Nokia and Tesi tied to the partnership.
