In the latest trading session, Nokia (NOK - Free Report) closed at $5.02, marking a -0.59% move from the previous day. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.61% gain on the day. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 0.71%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 0.53%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the technology company had gained 1.41% over the past month. This has outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 8.25% and the S&P 500's loss of 3.77% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from NOK as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, NOK is projected to report earnings of $0.01 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 75%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $6.06 billion, down 4.43% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.24 per share and revenue of $25.95 billion, which would represent changes of -11.11% and -2.36%, respectively, from the prior year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for NOK. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. 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, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. NOK is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Investors should also note NOK's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 21.26. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 24.01, so we one might conclude that NOK is trading at a discount comparatively.
