Stock in focus: Nokia is back – no one is better in the Euro Stoxx 50

Nokia, the Finnish company, has seen its stock rise by 120% in the past 12 months, making it the top performer in the Euro Stoxx 50. The company's transformation from a mobile phone manufacturer to a provider of network equipment and technology, including optical transmission and 5G networks, has sparked investor optimism. Nokia's partnership with Nvidia, which invested $1 billion in the company, has also boosted its stock, with the two companies working together on artificial intelligence and 6G networks.

The company's quarterly order intake rose to €2.8 billion and analysts forecast a net profit of €1.3 billion for the current year and €1.9 billion for next year. Despite the stock's high valuation, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 24, some analysts are optimistic about Nokia's prospects.
