Nokia Stock Rebounds 6% Off Support After Earnings Selloff – Is the Worst Over?

Nokia (NOK) shares rebounded 6% to €7.77 after a 10% drop following Q3 2026 earnings. The company beat revenue and EPS estimates but lowered free cash flow guidance to 35-55% and reported negative free cash flow of €99M. Restructuring costs of €1.1B and €400M in working capital investments raised concerns. Analysts are divided on the outlook, with technical support at €7.50.
