On September 17, Nokia Oyj rose 5.62% in regular trading, trading at $10.69/share, with turnover of $220 million. The rally was driven by the announcement of an expanded partnership with Microsoft to co-develop an AI agent-powered unified data infrastructure for telecom network automation.
Nokia said the collaboration integrates Nokia Data Suite with Microsoft Fabric's analytics and AI capabilities, enabling telecom operators to access trusted network data in minutes rather than the weeks traditionally required. The initial integration focuses on radio access networks and fault management, where AI agents can perform automated root-cause analysis and closed-loop operations while retaining human oversight. Applications already launched include VoNR autonomous network assurance. Separately, B. Riley initiated coverage on Nokia with a Buy rating and a $15 price target, while the analyst consensus maintains an overweight rating with a mean target of $13.10.
The move also extends a broader rebound after Nokia plunged over 13% on September 14 amid a sector-wide selloff in optical communications stocks. The stock has since been supported by accelerating AI-RAN commercialization on NVIDIA platforms and a UK defense digitalization partnership with C3IA.
