Jim Cramer Expresses Strong Bullish Stance on Nokia Shares
Yahoo Finance ·
During a recent episode of Mad Money, market commentator Jim Cramer stated that he would purchase shares of Nokia Oyj right now, highlighting the telecommunications firm as an exceptional opportunity. Nokia reported that its second-quarter artificial intelligence and cloud customer sales surged 105 percent year over year to 446 million euros, while network infrastructure revenue advanced 12 percent on a constant-currency basis. CEO Justin Hotard noted that AI and cloud order intake reached 2.8 billion euros during the period. Despite posting a reported operating loss of 50 million euros and negative free cash flow of 732 million euros due to heavy restructuring, the company maintains a 2026 comparable operating profit forecast between 2.1 billion and 2.6 billion euros. Cramer's endorsement coincides with growing institutional interest, as hedge funds holding the stock increased from 66 to 81 in the second quarter.

DYAX 전담 분석
Nokia's AI and cloud order backlog reached EUR 2.8 billion, with half expected to convert into revenue within the next 12 months. Clear signs of fundamental improvement are evident, such as enhanced network efficiency through the adoption of the AI-RAN platform.
The bullish scenario is that AI orders rapidly translate into actual operating profit and cash generation, while the bearish scenario is the persistent cash outflow caused by massive restructuring costs and capital expenditures. Investors should closely monitor the quarterly free cash flow conversion rate and guidance achievement.
