Read MoreHide Full Article
Nokia (NOK - Free Report) closed at $3.80 in the latest trading session, marking a +0.8% move from the prior day. This change outpaced the S&P 500's 0.67% gain on the day. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 0.73%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.94%.
Coming into today, shares of the technology company had lost 3.33% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector lost 3.27%, while the S&P 500 lost 3.8%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Nokia as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, Nokia is projected to report earnings of $0.09 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 10%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $6.36 billion, up 1.16% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.42 per share and revenue of $26.41 billion, which would represent changes of -8.7% and +0.98%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Nokia should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell).

Investors should also note Nokia's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 9.05. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 13.06, so we one might conclude that Nokia is trading at a discount comparatively.
