Nokia (ISIN FI0009000681) was trading at EUR 7.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 9:46 a.m. CET, down 0.51 percent versus the Xetra close of October 26, 2026 at EUR 7.79. The latest company report showed higher sales and comparable profitability, while reported operating profit fell because of restructuring and integration costs.

Third-quarter growth meets restructuring costs

In its interim report dated October 22, 2026, Nokia reported third-quarter net sales of EUR 5.154 billion, up 10 percent from EUR 4.700 billion in the year-earlier quarter. Comparable operating profit rose 35 percent to EUR 605 million, lifting the comparable operating margin to 11.7 percent from 9.5 percent.

The reported picture was weaker. Operating profit declined 22 percent to EUR 196 million, and reported operating margin fell to 3.8 percent from 5.4 percent. Nokia said accelerated restructuring and integration costs affected the reported result, while comparable diluted earnings per share reached EUR 0.09 versus EUR 0.06.

AI orders and cash conversion matter

AI and Cloud customer sales grew 123 percent year over year in the third quarter, while order intake rose 118 percent, according to Nokia. The company also secured EUR 1.5 billion in new orders, giving the growth story a concrete demand indicator.

For investors, cash conversion is the counterweight. Nokia lowered its 2026 free cash flow conversion assumption to 35 percent to 55 percent and plans an additional EUR 400 million of working-capital investment. The full-year comparable operating profit outlook remained EUR 2.1 billion to EUR 2.6 billion.

What happened in three October dates?

Nokia's official investor information records three recent milestones: on October 20, 2026, the company described its 2026 operating profit outlook; on October 21, 2026, it announced progress toward commercial AI-RAN deployment; and on October 22, 2026, it published the third-quarter report, as listed by Nokia.

Which dates come next?

The board's EUR 0.03 per share dividend has a record date of October 27, 2026, and payment is scheduled for November 5, 2026, according to Nokia. Nokia plans to publish fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results on January 28, 2027.

Stock stays below the prior close

The current market signal is modestly negative against the previous Xetra session, despite the strong comparable operating figures. The next reported results date gives investors a defined checkpoint for judging whether AI and Cloud demand is converting into cash generation.

Nokia stock was trading at EUR 7.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 9:46 a.m. CET, 0.51 percent below the Xetra close of October 26, 2026 at EUR 7.79. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Nokia stock.
