OT - NOK
OT - NOK
From Barrons - MKM partners is keepig their rating 'neutral'
because "Total global carrier capex is uninspiring, particularly on
the wireless side, and the merger integration could prove
long and difficult." Could not read rest of story.
Not sure what to make of all this, OTOH NOK pledging to hit
their 2018 goal of 900 mln. cost reductions savings, which is
exactly what was expected. The disappointing numbers seem to
suggest that there are problems that perhaps are industry wide,
given that they resembled the disappointing Ericson CC, rather than
differentiating NOK from it. I can't tell whether this is a market
over-reaction and/or misinterpretation of NOK's results and
prospects, or whether the fundamental story on NOK is still intact.
I'm not selling anything, but am ambivalent about buying anything
until there's more clarity. The new 52 wk low seems like it could
be a great buying opp, but from today's action, it seems clear that
so far the market isn't interested in snapping up shares at this
price. Which again begs the question - Misinterp. of long term
prospects, or does the CC suggest that there are unanticipated and
serious problems with NOK.
