Nokia begins the week with its participation in the Middle East 2026 GCCM and SIS Summit in Muscat, Oman. According to the Nokia event schedule, the summit runs from Sunday, November 1, through Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
AI and connectivity take focus
Nokia has scheduled a master class for Tuesday, November 3, on connectivity architecture for the Middle East as a gateway between Europe and Asia. On Wednesday, November 4, Chief Technology Officer of Systems Walid Wakim is due to join a panel on AI-native networks, advanced fibre, data centers and secure infrastructure.
The event follows Nokia's third-quarter report published on October 22. In the Nokia Corporation Interim Report for Q3 2026, the company said comparable net sales increased 9 percent year over year on a constant-currency basis. Network Infrastructure sales grew 15 percent on the same basis, while sales to AI and Cloud customers increased 123 percent.
Outlook remains unchanged
Nokia kept its full-year 2026 comparable operating profit outlook at 2.1 billion to 2.6 billion euros. The company expects fourth-quarter net sales to rise 20 percent to 24 percent from the third quarter and plans to publish its fourth-quarter and full-year results on January 28, 2027.
The board also resolved to distribute a dividend of 0.03 euros per share, with payment scheduled for Thursday, November 5. For investors, the combination of a fixed outlook, a near-term industry event and the upcoming distribution keeps execution in AI and cloud infrastructure at the center of the week's focus.
