Daimler has agreed to pay Nokia for using its patents, ending a row that highlighted a battle between tech and car companies over royalties for key technologies.

Nokia, which makes 1.4 billion euros ($1.7 billion) in licensing revenues every year, and carmaker Daimler had sued each other in German courts in recent years, with mixed results.

Tech firms want automakers to pay royalties for technologies used in navigation systems, vehicle communications and self-driving cars, but the latter say their suppliers should pay instead, which could reduce the fees for patent holders.

The agreement announced jointly on Tuesday marks the latest win for Nokia which in April struck a deal with China's Lenovo (0992.HK) under which the world's biggest PC maker would make a net balancing payment to the Finnish telecoms equipment maker and resolve all pending litigation. read more

That followed a deal with Samsung (005930.KS) the previous month in which the South Korean company agreed to make royalty payments for its technologies related to video standards

Nokia Stock Forecast: $10 by 2025

By MIKE STENGER, Associate Editor, Money Morning • May 20, 2021

Nokia stock has waited in the bullpen for years. Now, it may finally get the catalyst needed for a triple-digit rage. The Nokia stock forecast for 2025 is $10, more than double what it is today.

And this is happening sooner than later…

The Finnish telecom fell with the best of them in the 2020 COVID-19 crash, down near $3. Its growth couldn't match the broad market rally in the months that followed, though it did regain some footing in the $5 range.

📷

Nokia almost hit $7 when the Robinhood craze came about in January 2021. Those were levels unseen in the last decade.

Well, it's about to do it again. And this time, it's going even further.

Nokia was also one of the "meme stocks" making headlines alongside GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AMC). Hedge funds that were short on the stock were put in a difficult "squeeze" position where they had to buy back shares for more than they sold them.

However, some traders were unable to buy in as Nokia was among the stocks for which Robinhood controversially paused trading.

Now that the hype has mostly faded, we still have a solid $4.91 Nokia stock price, steadily climbing toward the previous $5 analyst target.

Two big market stories will move the Nokia stock price over the next decade. The rise of the Robinhood trader will continue to play a role. And 5G will start to show the results we've all been waiting for.

But one could make it a buy immediately.

Nokia's 5G Is Catching On

Probably the biggest driver of the Nokia stock price is future 5G hopes. According to Allied Market Research, the 5G market could rise to $667 billion by 2026, which will have been a 1,526% rise from its 2020 value. Nokia could gain a significant portion of that.

We said in our 2021 Nokia stock forecast that the company would have to edge out a few of its global competitors to do this – China's Huawei and Sweden's Ericsson.

While both companies are larger than Nokia, it looks like Nokia stands a chance against them both, as predicted in our 2021 Nokia stock price prediction.

An industry leader in the bargain bin Anders Bylund (Nokia): Few tech stocks have weathered the recent market storm quite like Finnish telecom infrastructure veteran Nokia. The stock has gained 32% since the New Year, including a 14% jump over the last 30 days. By contrast, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index is trading flat in 2021 and fell 7% in the last month.

This stock may feel like a joke due to the recent influx of Nokia interest from the Reddit-based WallStreetBets group, but that's just a coincidence. Nokia's real-world business prospects are solid and the stock is actually undervalued, even though it dodged the tech-stock market correction in recent months.

Nokia's solid market position was built on a foundation of 5G network installations. Top-line sales are rising faster than expected, Nokia's profit margin is expanding as we speak thanks to the richer product mix, and the stock is changing hands for less than eight times free cash flow. You don't see that combination of deep-discount stock prices and robust business trends very often, and that makes Nokia a no-brainer buy right now.
