Why Nokia Sank today

Nokia (NOK) shares fell 15.4% on Thursday despite beating earnings expectations. The company reported 9.7% revenue growth and 50% EPS growth, driven by AI and cloud segment growth of 123%. However, the market reacted negatively, possibly due to high expectations and sector-wide AI stock sell-offs. Nokia's P/E ratio was in the high 70s before the drop.
