About the company
Nokia makes the equipment and software that mobile carriers, cloud companies, and businesses use to run networks, from cell-tower radios to fiber links between AI data centers. From 1998 to 2011 it was the world's largest mobile phone maker; it sold that business to Microsoft in 2014, and HMD Global, a separate company, makes Nokia-branded phones under license. Its network unit sells optical systems that send data over fiber, internet routers, and broadband gear, and its mobile unit sells radios and the core software that runs 5G networks. Nokia earns money from equipment and service contracts and from licensing its patents to phone makers and carmakers. It was founded in 1865 as a wood pulp mill and is based in Espoo, Finland.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- AI builders are a growth engine: AI and cloud customers ordered €2.8 billion from Nokia in the June 2026 quarter.
- Equity has gained value: Nokia's US shares rose 60% from January to October 2026, while Swedish rival Ericsson's fell 1%.
- The US is Nokia's top hiring hub: 211 of its 622 open roles in October 2026, versus 19 in Finland.
What critics are saying
- Cuts are widening: in July 2026, Nokia raised restructuring charges to €800 million from €250 million, targeting Europe and China.
- Expect office time: only 5 of Nokia's 622 open roles in October 2026 were remote, and 248 were fully on-site.
- AI is still a small slice: AI and cloud customers made up 9% of Nokia's June 2026 quarter sales.
What makes Nokia unique
- Nvidia owns 2.9% of Nokia: the companies jointly develop mobile-network software that runs on Nvidia computing hardware.
- It owns a historic US research lab: Bell Labs, birthplace of the transistor and Unix, lists 10 Nobel Prizes.
- It manufactures optical chips itself: Nokia owns the San Jose semiconductor plant acquired with US networking firm Infinera.
