A congressional purchase of $15,000-$50,000 in Nokia shares just three days before earnings looks unlikely to be coincidence. x.com

Nokia's Q3 revenue and earnings beat despite the selloff makes it one of the most compelling buying opportunities in the market right now. Shares are back at $7.88, nearly 55% below their $17.45 high, after Nvidia invested $1 billion at $6.01 per share in October 2025. x.com
Insider buying at Nokia signals the company is reaching an inflection point, and the stock could double again, much as Micron did after its insiders bought. Chief of Staff Victoria Hanrahan just bought about $700K of shares, and other insiders have bought over $3M recently, even after a 177% gain over the past year. x.com
Nokia's expected 2028 earnings do not make the stock particularly attractive at today's multiple. Even assuming EUR3.5bn of operating profit and a 17x multiple, the implied value is about $12.40, leaving the thesis dependent on multiple expansion. Datacenter and optical progress is good, but more growth in satellite communications and subsea would strengthen the case. x.com x.com x.com
Nokia's agentic-AI work with Nvidia adds another bullish development to its network-automation case. Nokia says their models and network intelligence help operators act on insights while keeping control of sensitive data. L&T Technology Services also announced engineering and R&D work with Nokia in India; after strong Q3 results, the shares still look ridiculously priced. x.com x.com
Nokia stands out for heavy insider buying, which signals confidence. Per @Sergeant991, a senior manager and the chief of staff are down about a third on purchases near $15.7-15.8, while the CEO is near breakeven around $10.46, and the next insider buying window opens one day after earnings. x.com
Nokia looks expensive at $10.78, trading at 19x cash earnings and 18x next year's versus the 11x its industry usually gets. A $5.93-$7.55 fair-value range means paying 43% over the top of fair. These are valuation levels from reported earnings and revenue estimates, not fundamental work. x.com
Nokia insiders were buying at $15, which makes $10-12 a great area to add. x.com
Low forward earnings multiples across eleven stocks cannot persist indefinitely. Nvidia trades near 17.5x, its lowest in over a decade; Oracle near 15x, its lowest in six years. Uber is at 17x, Broadcom 19x, Vistra 15x, AppLovin 14.5x, TSMC 19x, Forgent Power Solutions 18x, Nokia 19.5x, American Express 17x and Western Digital 14x. x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com
Nokia does not deserve the roughly 50x multiples of optical pure plays like Ciena and Coherent, because it still carries large, shrinking legacy businesses in wireless, PON and routing. This rebuts Citron Research's case that comparisons with those peers make Nokia a $20 stock. x.com
Nokia is very important for networking data centers, and Nvidia's $1 billion investment underscores that role. Options call flow has been heavy, and the target is $30. x.com x.com
