Nokia Oyj

“Nokia combines structural mediocrity with a full valuation: a commodity RAN business under competitive and Open RAN pressure, a capital allocation track record anchored by the Alcatel-Lucent disaster and 2019 5G execution failure, ROE of 3.1% with ROIC barely at WACC, and a stock that has already re-rated from 3.42 to 8.74 on cyclical recovery hopes that are now consensus. The patent licensing arm is genuinely valuable but insufficient to justify owning the whole company at 23.7x forward earnings. There is no margin of safety, no compounding mechanism, and no management team that has earned the benefit of the doubt on capital allocation.”
