  "account": "Jim Cramer enthusiastically praised Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) during a live segment of his financial television show Mad Money on September 16. The caller praised the company's recent partnerships with NVIDIA and Google, as well as its networking and data center buildouts. Cramer responded positively, stating, \"I like Nokia very much. I'm glad you brought it to our attention. I think it's a terrific situation, and I would be a buyer right here, right now.\"\n\nNokia's second-quarter results revealed strong growth in AI and cloud customer sales, which rose 105% year over year to €446 million. Network Infrastructure revenue grew by 12% on a constant currency basis, with significant increases in Optical Networks (20%) and IP Networks (16%). CEO Justin Hotard highlighted that AI and cloud order intake reached €2.8 billion in the quarter, with expectations that around half of these orders would convert to revenue within the next twelve months.\n\nLooking ahead, Nokia expects its 2026 comparable operating profit to range between €2.1 billion and €2.6 billion. Despite these positive signals, the company's financial results still lag behind its comparable figures, with a €50 million operating loss in the second quarter and a negative operating margin of 1% compared to 3.3% the previous year. The decline was attributed to an accelerated restructuring process, resulting in negative free cash flow of €732 million. Nokia anticipates capital expenditures of €800 million to €900 million in 2026 and approximately €800 million of restructuring costs, including €700 million to €800 million in cash outflows.\n\nCramer's bullish stance is driven by Nokia's strong AI and cloud business, which is experiencing rapid growth and a larger order pipeline. However, the company continues to absorb significant restructuring costs and is generating negative free cash flow, making it challenging to assess how much of the AI demand will translate into sustained profit and cash generation.",
