Finnish telecom equipment maker Nokia reported a stronger-than-expected rise in third-quarter comparable operating profit on Thursday, driven by growing demand from artificial intelligence and cloud customers, while maintaining its full-year financial outlook.
Comparable operating profit rose to 605 million euros ($680.20 million) in the third quarter of 2026, from 448 million euros a year earlier, beating the average analyst estimate of 453 million euros, according to a company-provided poll.
