Nokia (Buy, TP: EUR7.50) - Share price down, forecasts up
Yet again in this erratic earnings season, we disagree with the market’s reaction to a Q1 report. In our view, Nokia is moving from strength to strength despite several headwinds in Q1. While comparable EPS was in line with our forecast, it beat consensus by 9%. As we see strong trends, we have raised our EPS 10% for 2022e and 4% for 2023e. Accordingly, we have increased our target price to EUR7.5 (7.2). With more than 60% upside potential, we reiterate our BUY.Nokia is an Internet and communications technology company based in Finland. Co.'s operations are focused on three businesses: network infrastructure software, hardware and services, which Co. offers through Networks; location intelligence, which Co. provides through HERE; and advanced technology development and licensing, which Co. pursues through Technologies.
