NOK reported strong growth in its mobile network segment in Q3, helped by easing restrictions and strong demand from mobile companies as they continue to roll out 5G.
For Q4, investors will be looking for feedback from the company on its capex spending plans. They will also be looking for mention of any issues such as patent disputes and environmental, social and governance concerns.

NOK’s arch-rival Ericsson ( ERIC ) last week posted a big miss on Q4 EPS, overshadowing its hit. The Swedish company also warned of a “rather difficult” 2023 with long-term uncertainty and economic headwinds.
Earlier this week on Monday, NOK signed a 5G license agreement with Samsung.
