Coming into today, shares of the technology company had gained 1.17% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 2.89%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.81%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from NOK as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect NOK to post earnings of $0.03 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 66.67%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $6.13 billion, up 1.31% from the prior-year quarter.
NOK's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $0.30 per share and revenue of $26.59 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +11.11% and +0.06%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for NOK should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
