The Blindingly Obvious Case for Nokia

I've ignored $Nokia Oyj(NOK)$  for years, dismissing it as a "has-been" phone brand. Then, the $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  news hit, and I decided to actually look at the books. What I found shocked me: a rock-solid, financially healthy company that the market is pricing for death.

This is, from my perspective, one of the most mispriced opportunities on the market.

First, the company is a financial fortress, not a distressed asset. Its Q3 2025 report showed a net cash balance of €3.0 billion. It has a very low debt-to-equity ratio (around 0.21) and a healthy current ratio (1.46). This is a low-risk, stable company.

Second, the pivot to AI infrastructure is not just a "plan"—it's already working. In Q3, comparable net sales grew 9% year-over-year. This wasn't driven by old tech; it was led by the Network Infrastructure division, where Optical Networks surged 19%, pulling in massive orders from AI and cloud customers.

Finally, the $1 billion equity investment from Nvidia is the ultimate validation. The kingmaker of the AI revolution just publicly endorsed Nokia's 6G and AI data center strategy. This isn't just cash; it's a strategic partnership to build the future of AI-native networks.

The market is valuing Nokia like a dying telecom company, but its fundamentals are now that of a high-growth AI infrastructure play. With a strong earnings forecast and a healthy PEG ratio, the disconnect is massive. The Nvidia investment is the starting gun, and the "broken" valuation provides the upside.

    Market still sees Nokia as old telecom, but it’s quietly morphing into an AI infrastructure play with real cash strength and Nvidia’s seal of approval.
