Nokia Restructures Financials as It Prepares to Exit Non-Core Businesses

  • Nokia has recast its financial statements for Q1 2026 and all of 2025 to reflect Fixed Wireless Access CPE and Enterprise Campus Edge businesses as discontinued operations.
  • The move follows Nokia's strategy shift, which reorganized the company into two primary operating segments and identified non-core units for potential divestment.
  • Nokia has already agreed to sell its Fixed Wireless Access CPE business and is likely to sell its Enterprise Campus Edge business.
  • The classification of these businesses as discontinued operations had a minor impact on the financials of Nokia's Network Infrastructure and Mobile Infrastructure segments.

Nokia's restructuring reflects a broader industry trend of telecom equipment providers streamlining operations to focus on high-growth areas. The divestment of non-core businesses aligns with Nokia's goal to become a more agile player in the connectivity space, particularly as it competes with rivals like Ericsson and Huawei. The financial recast provides a clearer picture of Nokia's core performance, which will be crucial for investors evaluating its long-term prospects.
