REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photoon Tuesday gave its first guidance for 2022, easing investors' concerns over the impact the global chip shortage may have had on its operations.
Nokia said it expected a comparable operating margin of 11-13.5% in 2022, sending its shares up 2.8% in the morning trade following the announcement. "The outlook shows that the business turnaround is still progressing well and no offset is coming from cost inflation or component shortage," Inderes analyst Atte Riikola told Reuters.The company said it also expected to exceed its 2021 earnings guidance, with its venture fund investments driving the boost.
Nokia estimated a full-year 2021 comparable operating margin of 12.4-12.6%, above its previous guidance of 10-12%, and net sales of 21.7-22.7 billion euros, within its previously announced range."However, other operating income was higher than expected including further benefits from venture fund investments, leading to a stronger comparable operating margin exceeding the 2021 guidance," it said in a statement.
Nokia now expects Q4 revenue of 6.4 billion euros, below expectations of 6.5 billion euros, according to Reuters calculations.Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.comReporting by Anne Kauranen, Supantha Mukherjee and Essi Lehto; editing by Jason Neely, Kirsten Donovan and David EvansSubscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
