Sleeper bull case for $NOK nobody's talking about:
The next big thing in AI data centers:
co-packaged optics, just got pushed to 2029.
That means the boring, proven pluggable fiber gear that Nokia sells keeps dominating for longer than expected.
Not a rocket ship. But more runway than the market thinks.
THE DOT-COM PATTERN ІS PLAYING OUT PERFECTLY
You've probably seen this overlay more than once
S&P 500 behavior is literally mirroring the dot-com bubble of 2000
Looking at the chart right now - we just reached the local drop point
And yes - price has already started falling
If the trend holds, we're looking at a 10% drop first
Then one last bounce to print a new all-time high
After that - only down
FOLLOW + NOTIFS ON!
As I predicted two weeks ago, the Bull trap was formed and violently corrected , now bear trap is well formed 😄 but so quickly!
If CPI is inline or cooler, bears will be beaten out of shit, and we will break out of ATH to form a new small bull trap.
It's funny how fast sentiment shifts...
After a 30%+ rally everyone was invincible.
Now with the markets pulling back everyone is a doomsdayer.
The markets aren't saying it's over though...
~Bonds are down.
~Oil is down.
~Crypto is down.
~Stocks are down.
To me this feels more like positioning, profit taking, and testing a new FED than the start of a bear market.
Corrections happen.
Bull markets climb a wall of worry.
What we are seeing today is probably that CTAs are slamming the sell-button on Chips, which kinda makes sense after what happened on Friday. It's more technical in nature, but the market environment changed a bit after Friday for sure
I don’t think the bleeding we are seeing right now marks the end of the bull market.
Yes, stocks are getting hit. Yes, some froth is coming out. Yes, a few speculative names are getting slapped around because apparently gravity still exists.
But the big story is not changing.
The Mag 7 are locked in an AI arms race.
They are burning insane amounts of cash flow on data centers, chips, power, infrastructure, cloud capacity, models, and everything else required to dominate the next decade.
And now, for some of them, internal cash flow alone is not enough. Debt, equity issuance, creative financing, whatever it takes, the machine keeps moving.
Why?
Because with the data they have, the customer demand they see, and the real time usage trends inside their own businesses, they clearly believe the return on this AI buildout is worth it.
Are there pullbacks? Of course.
Are there shakeouts? Absolutely.
The market needs those.
Every once in a while, it has to drain the stupidity from the speculative corners before everyone starts acting like every AI press release deserves a 40% rally.
But big picture, nothing I see tells me this train is stopping.
The AI capex cycle is alive.
The biggest companies in the world are still spending like crazy.
The competition is still escalating.
And as long as that continues, I don’t see the bull case as dead.
Names like:
- $ASX
- Sumitomo Electric
- $JBL
- $VICR
- $GFS
- $AAOI
- AlChip
- $TSEM
- $FN
- Furukawa Electric
- $CLS
- $NBIS
- $NOK
- $AMKR
- $LITE
- $COHR
Off the top of my head.
So basically, AI exposure trading in the $10-100B range.
Likely have compelling ROI right now compared to indexes or $ARM to $MRVL that ran quite a bit?
(Just a disclosure, only have financial interest in NBIS/TSEM/AAOI above)
I mention a lot of smaller ideas, but that’s just to chase outsized returns.
Still feels like many of these have room to go.
NOKIA POWERS UP 5G ACROSS INDONESIA WITH INDOSAT
$NOK is teaming with Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison to roll out low and mid-band 5G, aiming for 80% network coverage across the country.
MARKET DESKS WARN OF SHARPER EQUITY UNWINDS AFTER FRIDAY ROUT
Goldman Sachs and Barclays traders warn Friday’s selloff may signal deeper fragility, not a one-off move. They cite crowded momentum positioning, weak market breadth, and higher-for-longer rates as factors increasing the risk of abrupt factor unwinds. Goldman says such positioning can amplify volatility beyond index moves, while Barclays warns volatility-control funds may need to cut US equity exposure after the rout. Systematic strategies remain vulnerable, with AI, rates, and inflation risks seen as key triggers for further downside.
Nokia and @indosat are scaling 5G across Indonesia boosting coverage, capacity and reliability nationwide.
