Core Insights - Nokia's recent financial performance has been weak, with a significant decline in comparable net profit and challenges in its mobile networks business [2][3] Financial Performance - In Q2, Nokia's comparable net profit fell by 28% year-on-year to €236 million, while revenue saw a slight increase of 2% to €4.47 billion, but a 1% decline when adjusted for currency effects [2] - The company's comparable operating profit margin decreased to 6.6%, down 2.9 percentage points from the previous year [2] - The patent licensing business contributed €255 million, which helped mitigate overall profitability concerns [2] Business Challenges - The mobile networks segment is facing significant issues, with U.S. operators reducing their reliance on Nokia; Verizon has shifted to Samsung, and AT&T has chosen Ericsson, leaving T-Mobile as the primary customer [2] - Revenue from the mobile networks division dropped from €10.4 billion in 2020, accounting for nearly half of total revenue, to €7.7 billion in 2024, now representing 40% of total revenue [2] - The profitability of this segment has deteriorated, with a loss of €75 million in the first half of this year, resulting in a profit margin of -2.2%, compared to a 9.5% profit margin in the same period last year [2] Strategic Focus - CEO Justin Hotard emphasized the company's commitment to investing in artificial intelligence, anticipating an "AI supercycle" that will drive demand for stronger network infrastructure [3] - Despite short-term profit pressures, the company continues to invest heavily in research and development to support future growth [3] Shareholder Sentiment - Shareholders are growing impatient, with some questioning the emphasis on "comparable profit" as a means to obscure the true financial situation [3] - Calls for deep reforms include divesting from more profitable segments and potentially relocating the headquarters to the U.S. to attract more investment [3]

对此，Justin Hotard 仅对外强调该公司正力押 AI，称"AI 超级周期"正在到来，相应技术的发展将推动更强大网络内需，同时，公司持续在研发上大手笔投 入，这意味着短期利润承压，即便有助于未来增长。 IT之家 8 月 29 日消息，诺基亚现已公布新一期财报，该公司新任首席执行官 Justin Hotard 上任仅 4 个月，公司便遭遇了资本市场的冷遇。 ▲ 诺基亚近期股价信息 今年第二季度，诺基亚公司可比净利润同比下滑 28%，仅为 2.36 亿欧元（IT之家注：现汇率约合 19.63 亿元人民币），营收虽增长 2% 至 44.7 亿欧元，但 若按固定汇率计算则下降 1%。该公司可比营业利润率下降至 6.6%，比去年同期缩水 2.9 个百分点。如果不是专利授权业务贡献了 2.55 亿欧元（现汇率约合 21.21 亿元人民币），公司"几乎无利可图"。 据悉，诺基亚当下的困境出现在移动网络部门，目前美国运营商正在逐渐抛弃诺基亚，其中 Verizon 转投三星，AT&T 选择了爱立信，仅剩 T-Mobile 仍是其 主要客户。这对曾经贡献诺基亚最大营收的业务板块而言无疑是重大打击。 作为比较，2020 年 ...
