Executive summary
Nokia (NOKIA.HE, NASDAQ Helsinki) is a Finland-based network infrastructure and technology company that the market is pricing as an AI-driven optical infrastructure provider funded by a high-margin patent royalty stream; in this Valuatum equity research report dated 15 July 2026 we rate the stock SELL with a 12-month target price of 9.40 EUR against a current price of 10.28 EUR, implying roughly 8.5% downside. Market capitalisation is EUR 57.4 bn and enterprise value is EUR 56.1 bn.
The core valuation tension is a sharply split enterprise-value allocation. Mobile Networks generates 39.2% of group sales but only a 1.9% comparable operating margin and commands just 3.7% of enterprise value, while Network Infrastructure and Nokia Technologies combine for nearly 87% of EV despite generating less than half of group sales. Network Infrastructure carries a 9.8% margin on EUR 7,959m of FY2025 revenue yet trades at 36.0x trailing EBIT against its EUR 28.1 billion EV allocation, well above the 18.7x that would be justified if EBIT doubled toward EUR 1.5 billion, exposing a EUR 720m valuation gap. On a reverse-valuation basis the embedded assumptions are demanding: Network Infrastructure must roughly double comparable EBIT from EUR 780 million to EUR 1.5 billion by 2028 on 6-8% CAGR revenue growth to EUR 10.0 billion, while the group trades at 19.5x EV/EBIT on 2027e estimates versus a 13.7x normalized historical average. Our 18.5x fair multiple on 2027e group EBIT of EUR 2,876m, blended 60/40 with a 22.0x P/E on 0.40 EUR EPS, yields the 9.40 EUR target. The scenario base case implies EUR 10.08 per share (-1.8%), the bear case compresses the multiple to 12.1x for EUR 7.20 (-29.9%), and the bull case reaches EUR 12.22 (+18.9%).
Investment thesis — three reasons
Network Infrastructure carries a 9.8% margin but trades at 36.0x trailing EBIT, well above the 18.7x that would be justified if EBIT doubled toward EUR 1.5 billion, exposing a EUR 720m valuation gap.
Segment value analysis — enterprise-value allocation
The segment value analysis decomposes Nokia's enterprise value into the distinct businesses and options the market is paying for. The allocation across each segment is shown below; the full segment economics are in the report.
Scaling pool assigned a premium valuation as Nokia's main route out of the stagnant telecom capex cycle, housing the Optical Networks and IP Networks units critical for data center interconnect (DCI) and AI cluster scaling. Following the February 2025 Infinera acquisition Nokia holds roughly 20% of the global market (excluding China) as the clear number two behind Ciena, with a moat built on in-house DSP design and a captive Indium Phosphide fabrication facility in San Jose. The valuation requires comparable EBIT to roughly double from EUR 780 million to EUR 1.5 billion to bring the segment EV/EBIT down to a justifiable 18.7x; if margins stall at 10%, EBIT reaches only EUR 1.0 billion, leaving the segment at an expensive 28x multiple.
Reverse valuation
The scenario bridge tests whether the revenue, margin and multiple assumptions embedded in Nokia's EUR 56.1 billion enterprise value are coherent, with the Network Infrastructure operating margin as the variable causing the largest valuation swing between scenarios. Because Nokia operates with a net cash balance sheet, the enterprise value bridges cleanly to the EUR 57.4 billion equity market capitalisation, so equity value modestly exceeds enterprise value in each scenario.
