The Finnish company, battling with China's Huawei and Sweden's Ericsson, is trying to strengthen its 5G slate and looking to deployment by U.S. telecom companies for growth. Nokia, which will publish earnings on April 30, is expected to report revenue of 5.1 billion euros ($5.55 billion), up 1.25% from a year earlier, according to Refinitiv data based on eight analysts.

Both Ericsson and Huawei have posted growth in revenue in the first quarter of the year, helped by strong demand as telecom services help to keep businesses working remotely during the pandemic. While Ericsson has flagged near-term supply disruptions, Huawei has also faced a political backlash over alleged use of networking equipment to spy for the Chinese government, which the company has denied.

CHINA WEAKNESS In the latest contract awards by China Mobile, the world's largest telecom company, Nokia missed out entirely. Nokia also didn't win any 5G contracts from China Unicom and China Telecom, according to media reports. However, it was not clear if Nokia had chosen to opt out rather than chase business at any price. "We remain a long-term player in China and our commitment to China remains, but as you know, we have always taken disciplined approach to our business in China, which is focused on profitability as opposed to market share," Nokia told Reuters in an emailed statement. Nokia, however, is set to grow this year in North America, its biggest market. After the completion of a merger, the combined T-Mobile and Sprint is pushing ahead with the rollout of 5G. That bodes well for Nokia - a key supplier to both. "Samsung historically had 1/3 share at Sprint, and we believe this share may shift more to Nokia as part of a new strategy," BofA analysts said. Its other customers, AT&T and Verizon, have also earmarked billions of dollars to deploy 5G. Nokia shares, which took a beating last year, recovered some of those losses after rumors https://in.reuters.com/article/nokia-shares/nokia-shares-surge-on-report-of-takeover-bid-idINKBN21Y2PA surfaced that it may be a takeover target. "We must also note, especially given recent M&A rumors, that Nokia's minimal participation in China 5G markets may increase its attractiveness in the US 5G 'national champion' acquisition scenario," Northland Capital analyst Tim Savageaux wrote in a note.
