On August 4, Nokia Oyj rose 6.7% in regular trading, trading at $10.055/share, with turnover of $224 million. The rally was driven by a dual catalyst of S&P upgrading the company's credit outlook and strong Q2 financial results.
S&P recently upgraded Nokia's credit outlook from \"stable\" to \"positive,\" confirming its \"BBB-\" rating, citing business diversification and stable cash flow. Meanwhile, Q2 comparable operating profit surged 18% year-over-year to EUR 434 million, significantly exceeding market consensus of EUR 382 million. AI and cloud business orders reached EUR 2.8 billion, with sales more than doubling year-over-year. Management raised full-year adjusted operating profit guidance to EUR 2.1-2.6 billion, signaling confidence in AI-related demand. The options market also reflected bullish sentiment, with a Call/Put volume ratio of 2.63, though some defensive put positions indicated cautious optimism.
