Heading into today, shares of the technology company had lost 4.78% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 5.41% and lagging the S&P 500's loss of 3.49% in that time.
Nokia will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect Nokia to post earnings of $0.10 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 11.11%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $6.27 billion, down 1.49% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.45 per share and revenue of $25.15 billion, which would represent changes of +2.27% and -4.09%, respectively, from the prior year.
