On July 9, Nokia rose 4.02% in regular trading, trading at $12.605/share, with turnover of $139 million. The stock reversed its prior two-day decline on fresh catalyst from the defense and AI space.
On the news front, Nokia's defense business unit and NestAI announced they are building AI-enabled defense operational capabilities under their technology partnership framework, advancing artificial intelligence applications in the national defense domain. This latest collaboration reinforces Nokia's accelerating AI strategy — the company has previously established AI-related partnerships with Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and SAP, extending its AI footprint across telecom autonomous networks, enterprise digital transformation, and now defense operations.
Additionally, Bank of America recently raised its target price on Nokia from 14.4 euros to 15.6 euros, representing an approximately 8.3% upward revision. The combination of the investment bank upgrade and continued AI partnership announcements jointly lifted market sentiment, helping shares recover from sector-wide pressure earlier in the week.
