The strong AI-driven revenue growth and raised guidance support a positive outlook, but the large restructuring charges and negative free cash flow warrant caution. Monitor Q3 for margin recovery and cash flow improvement; long-term AI cycle tailwinds remain intact.

Executive Summary
Nokia reported solid Q2 2026 results with 8% reported net sales growth (9% constant currency) and a 75% increase in comparable diluted EPS to EUR 0.07, driven by 105% growth in AI & Cloud sales. Management raised the full-year comparable operating profit guidance to EUR 2.1-2.6 billion (technical revision from discontinued operations) and maintained an unchanged operational outlook.
