Post deal, Nokia will keep a 20% stake and board representation to ensure a smooth transition, with the French State set to acquire the remaining interest later. From the second quarter onward, Nokia will classify ASN as discontinued.
The sale is anticipated to be finalized by late 2024 or early 2025, pending formal consultation with ASN&#8217;s French Works Council, along with customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
The company&#8217;s Network Infrastructure Business Group will now include Fixed Networks, IP Networks, and Optical Networks.

Biggest stock movers today: PLUG, NKE, DJT, and more

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Infinera (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/infn-stock-quote/">INFN</a>), a maker of optical equipment, is soaring today on news that Nokia (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nok-stock-quote/">NOK</a>) will acquire it in a $2.3 billion deal.&nbsp;Nokia appears to have decided to acquire Infinera in order to double down on its artificial intelligence (AI) data center business and compete more effectively with Huawei and Ciena (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cien-stock-quote/">CIEN</a>). In early trading, INFN stock is climbing 18%.



<h2>The Deal Boosts Nokia&rsquo;s Presence in Optical Networking</h2>



As a result of the acquisition, Nokia will become the <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nokia-taps-ai-boom-2-094409119.html">second-largest player</a> in the global networking sector, moving ahead of Ciena. In the wake of the deal, Nokia will trail only China&rsquo;s Huawei, which is dominant in its home market.



Following the transaction, Nokia will be able to obtain more revenue from huge tech firms, including Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/goog-stock-quote/">GOOG</a>, NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/googl-stock-quote/">GOOGL</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/msft-stock-quote/">MSFT</a>). Specifically, the firm thinks that the deal will increase its sales from the data centers operated by those firms. Data centers deploy optical equipment in order to enable their systems to communicate.



The acquisition is expected to raise Nokia&rsquo;s profits in the first year of the deal, while Nokia anticipates that Infinera will increase its bottom line by more than 10% by 2027.



Additionally, the transaction <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/infinera-stock-price-buy-sell-nokia-ciena-658c7898">will allow Nokia</a> to develop more products and release its new offerings faster while developing more competitive systems, the telecom equipment firm stated.



<h2>INFN Stock: A 26% Premium</h2>



The $2.3 billion price tag was 26.4% higher than the value of INFN stock as of yesterday&rsquo;s market close.



Under the terms of the deal, Nokia will pay at least 70% of the acquisition price in cash. The owners of INFN stock can elect to receive as much as 30% of their payments in the form of NOK stock.



Heading into today, NOK stock <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/nok?mod=search_symbol">had fallen</a> 4% in the preceding month while climbing 5% in the last three months. It had advanced 9% in 2024.

INFN Stock Alert: Nokia Boosts Infinera With $2.3 BILLION Buy

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
&ldquo;I am not a cat,&rdquo; stated Keith Gill at the start of his <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/02/18/i-am-not-a-cat-keith-gill-delivers-his-testimony-at-gamestop-hearing.html">virtual testimony</a> in front of the House Committee on Financial Services in February 2021. Known across social media as Roaring Kitty, the infamous investor had recently captured the attention of the financial world and well beyond.



Gill was testifying about allegations of market manipulation that had risen during the 2021 GameStop (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gme-stock-quote/">GME</a>) <a href="https://www.vox.com/money/2023/9/15/23873474/dumb-money-gamestop-stock-keith-gill-melvin-capital-review">short squeeze</a>. He would speak for just over five minutes in front of the committee, during which time he admitted that he barely understood the events that had transpired &mdash; events that had resulted in an unprecedented phenomenon that turned heads across the financial community. He hadn&rsquo;t invested in GME stock to start a short squeeze or inspire a movement. Rather, he famously ended his testimony by highlighting that he saw value in the company. &ldquo;I like the stock,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;



The phrase would become iconic. Though <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/wallstreetbets-slang-and-memes-5111311">originally attributed</a> to CNBC host Jim Cramer, Gill&rsquo;s words became a battle cry for retail investors as they poured money into meme stocks like GameStop and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amc-stock-quote/">AMC</a>). These traders, likely following the same philosophy as Gill, were choosing to invest in stocks simply because they knew and liked the companies.&nbsp;



Some might compare this methodology to a <a href="https://catalyst-insights.com/lessons-from-peter-lynch-invest-in-what-you-know/">philosophy</a> made famous by investing icon Peter Lynch, which centers on investing in what you know. &ldquo;Buy only what you understand, believe in, and intend to stick with,&rdquo; he famously wrote. &ldquo;Even when others are chasing the next miracle.&rdquo; However, the legendary mutual fund manager claims his well-known advice is often misunderstood. In a 2015 interview, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/peter-lynch-25-years-later-its-not-just-invest-in-what-you-know-2015-12-28">Lynch highlighted</a> a significant problem with simply investing in what you know: Investors often interpret this approach as an alternative to conducting actual fundamental market research.&nbsp;



As it turns out, buying a stock simply because you like the company isn&rsquo;t a good investment strategy. Personal intuition must be coupled with real information in order to make prudent financial decisions. And in an age where bad investment advice is dominating social media forums like Reddit&rsquo;s r/WallStreetBets, sometimes recognizing good investments isn&rsquo;t easy.&nbsp;



<h2>Two Investing Philosophies</h2>



In 2021, the massive retail investing community that had grown around Gill and helped fuel the GME squeeze began looking for other companies with high short interest in hopes of creating another unprecedented event. With this, the meme stock craze that is still happening today was born.&nbsp;



Despite the <a href="https://investorplace.com/2023/07/meta-materials-exposes-the-dangers-of-meme-stock-investing/">dangers of this trading style</a> becoming undeniable as such &ldquo;favorites&rdquo; have plunged, retail investors have continued to stake risky bets on struggling companies. In the years since, no short squeeze has surpassed the gains made by GameStop during its 2021 run. AMC would come close a few months later and, the following year, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond would experience a rise and fall from which it would never recover. Indeed, Bed Bath <a href="https://investorplace.com/2023/04/bid-bye-bye-to-bbby-stock/">careened into bankruptcy</a> and, ultimately, oblivion. More often than not, meme stock rallies tend to be flash-in-the-pan instances that end as quickly as they begin.&nbsp;



Even so, retail traders continue to embrace the risk of betting on poor-performing stocks with questionable financials. Some Reddit users have taken pride in this approach, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Baystreetbets/comments/l98b4x/we_like_the_stock_we_like_the_phone_bb_and_nok_to/">posting photos</a> of the iconic phones made by BlackBerry (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bb-stock-quote/">BB</a>) and Nokia (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nok-stock-quote/">NOK</a>) and hyping the companies, for instance. While both of these firms have branched into areas other than phone-making, these tactics haven&rsquo;t done much to boost share prices or make the stocks look appealing to anyone apart from risk-embracing traders. Indeed, these posts might inspire social media chatter, but they rarely lead to direct price action.&nbsp;



That &ldquo;I like the stock&rsquo; philosophy may reflect the gist of Lynch&rsquo;s famous advice, but it ignores the nuances of it. And this trend suggests that some investors haven&rsquo;t taken the time to properly assess the financial expert&rsquo;s teachings.&nbsp;



Lynch&rsquo;s philosophy of investing can be summed up as I like it, so I will look into it. Yes, it makes sense for less experienced investors to be drawn to the companies with which they are familiar. But that does not absolve an investor of needing to conduct research on a company&rsquo;s fundamentals.&nbsp;



As Lynch has said about people buying a stock they know nothing about, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s gambling and it&rsquo;s not good.&rdquo; His investing philosophy centers around investing in companies you believe in only after doing the necessary research to assess their profitability.&nbsp;



Sometimes this can mean stepping out from behind the desk. Former InvestorPlace contributor Alexander Wah, who serves as founder and Chief Investment Officer of mid-cap investment firm <a href="https://www.prince.capital/">Prince Capital</a>, recalls the time he spent sitting in Chipotle (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cmg-stock-quote/">CMG</a>) and Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sbux-stock-quote/">SBUX</a>) cafes to assess the companies&rsquo; growth prospects, citing this kind of in-person experience as highly valuable:&nbsp;




 &ldquo;Use of the product/service by the investor can provide a useful datapoint of customer experience. A lot of hedge funds actually pay money for insights on how consumers interact/feel about products, so the individual investor in this case is essentially getting that information for free just by using it themselves and assessing how they feel about it.&rdquo;




However, Wah emphasizes that those coffees and burrito bowls were just the beginning of his research. Investing in companies you know and believe in is &ldquo;a great philosophy because it creates a touch point with the company that someone can build on, which hopefully inspires them to do more research on the stock.&rdquo;&nbsp;



<h2>If You Like a Stock, Look Into It</h2>



But are meme investors inspired to do actual research on the stocks they claim to like so much, as Wah suggests? They certainly weren&rsquo;t when the meme stock craze began. In the wake of the GameStop short squeeze, The Wall Street Journal reported that some investors <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/robinhood-traders-battle-cry-its-all-just-a-game-to-me-11616770807">openly admitted</a> they hadn&rsquo;t done research on their stocks. WSJ specifically noted one example of a TikTok video in which a young investor discussed his position. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what the f&mdash; I&rsquo;m doing. I just know I&rsquo;m making money,&rdquo; he said. Years later, it isn&rsquo;t clear how much time the retail crowd spends in GameStop stores or AMC theaters. Gill has <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/who-is-keith-gill-online-influencer-sending-gamestop-shares-soaring-again-2024-06-07/#:~:text=Born%20in%201986%20to%20a,lawmakers%20during%20a%202021%20hearing.">admitted</a> that he grew up playing video games and frequently shopped at GameStop. When AMC investor Jason Iannantuoni unsuccessfully <a href="https://investorplace.com/2023/08/amc-stock-alert-retail-investor-jason-iannantuoni-is-fighting-to-be-on-amcs-board/">campaigned for a spot</a> on the company&rsquo;s board in August 2023, he <a href="https://www.change.org/p/elect-amc-retail-investor-jason-iannantuoni-to-the-board-of-directors">referenced</a> &ldquo;watching a movie at AMC.&rdquo;&nbsp;



Still, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that all investors will use a company&rsquo;s financials and key market metrics to assess how good of an investment the stock is. For Wah, this means examining the broader sectoral landscape of a company, assessing what the trends in its sector are and what needs the company is addressing. &ldquo;You should look to see if the financial progress is showing reflective of your findings on the qualitative side, both for the company specifically and then in comparison to its peer group,&rdquo; he notes.



For those who don&rsquo;t take a fundamental-driven approach that centers around the elements that Wah highlights, investing can pose significant risks. Drayton D&rsquo;Silva, CEO of <a href="https://www.towerhillscapital.com/">Tower Hills Capital</a>, spoke to InvestorPlace about the potential problems with buying into a stock simply because you like the company.&nbsp;




&ldquo;It is a terrible investing strategy to buy shares in a company simply because you like its products because there are companies that sell great products but end up being very poor investments [&hellip;] Companies like WeWork, Revlon, Toys R Us and Borders went bankrupt despite being well-liked by their customers.&rdquo;




<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>



As Lynch advises and Wah highlights, investing in companies that you know isn&rsquo;t inherently bad. But it is more important than ever to consider context &mdash; especially in an era where entire social media communities are touting struggling, well-known companies as good investments.



Many popular meme stocks are struggling, even after Gill&rsquo;s return to social media sparked a rally last month. GME has been <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/06/gamestop-stock-alert-dont-follow-roaring-kitty-down-the-tubes/">highly volatile</a> since news broke that Gill had exited his call options and purchased more shares. And for GME&rsquo;s fellow meme stocks, things have been worse. Even after the rally, AMC is still down over 20% for the past six months.&nbsp;



So, what&nbsp;meme stocks are potentially responsible investments? Which companies are both hugely popular but also financially sound? One example is Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hood-stock-quote/">HOOD</a>), the trading app that helped get many people <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/technology/robinhood-risky-trading.html#:~:text=Robinhood%20Has%20Lured%20Young%20Traders%2C%20Sometimes%20With%20Devastating%20Results,-189&amp;text=25%2C%202021-,Millions%20of%20young%20Americans%20have%20begun%20investing%20in%20recent%20years,trading%20fees%20or%20account%20minimums.">invested in investing</a> and is often praised by retail investors for its gamification of stock trading. HOOD stock has displayed impressive growth of 70%-plus over the past six months and looks <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/robinhood-earnings-q1-2024-trading-rebound-crypto-crackdown/#:~:text=Outlook%3A%20Analysts%20expect%20the%20first,inconsistent%20history%20of%20quarterly%20profits.">poised to report</a> its first annual profit this year. Robinhood&rsquo;s foray into crypto has also helped it <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/06/wall-street-loves-these-crypto-stocks-7-to-buy-today/">gain favor</a> with Wall Street analysts, including its <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/06/hood-stock-alert-robinhood-makes-big-crypto-bet-with-bitstamp-buy/">recent acquisition</a> of exchange Bitstamp. Indeed, the trendy app has gone far beyond making stock trading fun, offering investors valuable exposure to multiple growing industries like crypto and fintech.&nbsp;



There are plenty of other meme stocks with <a href="https://investorplace.com/2023/04/3-meme-stocks-to-buy-with-actual-growth-potential/">actual growth potential</a>, as indicated by their financials and performance. Recent <a href="https://apewisdom.io/">data from ApeWisdom</a> shows that the popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) leaders Palantir (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pltr-stock-quote/">PLTR</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amd-stock-quote/">AMD</a>) has been rising among enthusiastic retail investors.&nbsp;



Shares of these companies have made impressive progress over the past year with gains of 65% and 45%, respectively. It&rsquo;s hard to ignore the power of the AI boom that has overtaken markets. But these innovative companies have displayed an impressive ability to make steady growth and give investors continuous reason to bet on them &mdash; enough reason to capture the attention of both Wall Street and r/WallStreetBets. Like Robinhood, they have spent the past year climbing while other meme stocks have either fallen or proven volatile. These examples should remind retail investors that often, the most prudent strategy is not to bet against Wall Street. Rather, investors should do the type of research that can reveal dynamic companies in fast-growing markets projected to <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/artificial-intelligence/worldwide#market-size">continue expanding</a> for years to come.



Investing in what you know can pay off, but history has proven that investors are best served by going beyond the basic interpretation of Lynch&rsquo;s philosophy. They should take the time to learn about their favorite companies &mdash; beyond the headlines.&nbsp;

Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) Stock: 5 Reasons for a Bearish Outlook

Companies in the Technology sector have received a lot of coverage today as analysts weigh in on Nokia (NOK – Research Report) and MKS Instruments ...

Analysts' Opinions Are Mixed on These Technology Stocks: Nokia (NOK) and MKS Instruments (MKSI)

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The size of the 5G services market is expected to grow from $98.3 billion in 2023 to more than $427 billion by 2028. That equates to forecast <a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/5g-services-market-226908556.html#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20market%20size,34.2%25%20from%202023%20to%202028.">compounding annual growth rates above 34%</a> in that period. Those strong figures underpin the need to consider <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/communications/5g/">5G stocks</a> to watch.



Most investors associate 5G with mobile carrier networks. While that is where much of the opportunity lies, 5G also has applications in other markets. Agriculture, smart grids, and other systems will all benefit from the continued development of 5G.



The 5G opportunity reaches deep across the technology sector creating opportunities in hardware, software, chips, and more. It isn&rsquo;t simply about mobile networks by any means. That means there are a lot of stock opportunities that touch on 5G that some might not expect. Those hidden opportunities and the massive growth anticipated in 5G create exciting opportunities. Let&rsquo;s learn more about 5G stocks to watch that leverage those opportunities.



<h2>T-Mobile US (TMUS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/tmus-stock-3-300x169.jpg" alt="tmobile (TMUS) logo on an office building facade"><div>Source: Shutterstock </div></div>T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tmus-stock-quote/">TMUS</a>) is one of the more prominent 5G stocks available to investors. It is a network service provider and, as such, is deeply exposed to the 5G opportunity. Readers will also note that it&rsquo;s the only pure play 5G opportunity on this list.&nbsp;



The primary reasons I think investors should consider T-Mobile US are all financial. Some impressive fundamentals lead me to believe that T-Mobile US is headed in the right direction. Due to those improvements, it should be able to capitalize on the 5G opportunity. The company made some impressive improvements in 2023.&nbsp;



Drastic reductions in the cost of revenue and other reduced expenses led to much higher operating income. The result was net income increased by nearly $6 billion in 2023. Meanwhile, T-Mobile US reduced the number of shares outstanding, leading to a bigger pot of earnings and fewer shareholders to pay. That all suggests that the stock will reward shareholders. As the 5G opportunity grows, that pot could grow as well.



<h2>Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/amd1600-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration, the AMD logo is shown on a smartphone screen."><div>Source: Pamela Marciano / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amd-stock-quote/">AMD</a>) is primarily known as an AI chip stock. Most of the potential and excitement around the stock stems from its positioning as the second-best AI chip maker on the market. However, AMD is also a company to watch concerning 5G.



AMD continues to <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-and-amd-collaborate-to-advance-network-transformation-with-vran">collaborate with other well-known chip makers, including</a> Samsung. Those two firms are collaborating to advance 5G virtualized RAN. The virtualization of RAN is transforming <a href="https://www.samsung.com/global/business/networks/products/radio-access/virtualized-ran/#:~:text=Virtualized%20Radio%20Access%20Network%20(vRAN,hardware%20into%20agile%2C%20flexible%20software.">traditional Radio Access Network hardware into software</a>.&nbsp;



AMD is clearly, therefore, also a part of the development of low-latency, high-efficiency networks necessary for the continued development of 5G. Samsung is leveraging new AMD EPYC 8004 processors in the collaboration. Those sales are yet another reason to consider AMD at the moment. The company has a massive opportunity in data centers and all things AI. Yet, AMD is also at the forefront of technological development elsewhere.



AMD provides excellent exposure to multiple high-growth opportunities moving forward. 5G and AI are two of the more prominent opportunities in that regard.



<h2>Marvell Technology (MRVL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/marvell_technologies_mrvl1600-300x169.jpg" alt="image of the marvell (MRVL) technologies office campus"><div>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mrvl-stock-quote/">MRVL</a>) primarily focuses on 5G semiconductor solutions. As this <a href="https://www.lightreading.com/semiconductors/marvell-serves-up-5g-gloom-as-results-disappoint">article notes</a>, the company is not particularly well-known outside of industry circles, but is a prominent supplier of 5G equipment. Its strong association and relationships within the 5G industry have been a blessing and a curse at the same time.



Marvell Technology is the only supplier of physical layer-up chips to Nokia (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nok-stock-quote/">NOK</a>). The company also made important connections with RAN leaders, including Samsung. As good as all of that sounds, the RAN market has suffered lately as the broader 5G opportunity continues to disappoint to a degree.&nbsp;



Analysts continue to be keen on Marvell Technology and its stock. The company is an auxiliary player in the AI market. Some of its digital signal processors connect GPUs that dominate the markets. Marvell Technology is more heavily associated with the 5G opportunity than the AI one.



If and when that opportunity reaches its potential, MRVL stock should grow rapidly.



<h2>Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/shutterstock_1440200903-300x169.png" alt="Logo of Alphabet (GOOG) website displayed on the screen of the mobile device. alphabet logo visible on display of modern smartphone on white"><div>Source: turbaliska / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/goog-stock-quote/">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/googl-stock-quote/">GOOGL</a>) is such a large and expansive company that many of its opportunities often get lost. Yet, the stock is very much one to watch in relation to 5G.



One of the main reasons to watch Alphabet in relation to 5G is the delivery of wireless services to enterprise customers via the cloud. Cloud infrastructure is widely expected to play an integral role in the delivery of 5G wireless deployments. For that reason, the big three cloud operators are all expected to offer exposure to 5G opportunities.



The 5G opportunity is not the driving force behind GOOG stock and its success. Ad revenues from search are much more important to the company. Fortunately, the company has <a href="https://abc.xyz/assets/9c/12/c198d05b4f7aba1e9487ba1c8b79/goog-10-q-q1-2024.pdf">recovered there</a>. Google&rsquo;s Cloud segment also continues to grow, which is where much of that 5G opportunity lies. That means there are multiple reasons to consider investing in GOOG stock, 5G being one of them.



<h2>Rogers Communications (RCI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/rci-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="The logo for Rogers Communications displayed on an office building."><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Rogers Communications (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rci-stock-quote/">RCI</a>) is a 5G stock to watch, but it generally doesn&rsquo;t get a lot of attention. Rogers Communications continues to be downplayed because it&rsquo;s a Canadian company. For better or worse, Canadian companies don&rsquo;t garner much attention in the U.S. stock market.



The company is a broad communications firm offering wireless, cable, voice and more. I believe that Rogers Communications is worth paying attention to for the growth the company has experienced over the past few years. <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/rci/financials/">Between 2020 and 2023</a>, overall revenues grew by nearly 40%.



Rogers Communications owns Canada&rsquo;s only true national 5G radio access network. Its 5G Network covers 2,200 communities across the nation. Rogers <a href="https://www.rcrwireless.com/20240201/5g/rogers-claims-first-network-slicing-trial-canada">secured nationwide 5G spectrum with its winning bid for 3.8 GHz spectrum in November 2023</a>. Its shares are rated a &ldquo;buy&rdquo; and <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/rci/forecast/">have the potential to double or more </a>over the next 12 to 18 months.&nbsp;



<h2>Cisco Systems (CSCO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/csco1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Where and Why You Can Steal Cisco Stock"><div>Source: Valeriya Zankovych / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/csco-stock-quote/">CSCO</a>) is a strong enterprise 5G provider. The company offers private 5G across a diversity of industries. It made a strong name for itself as an ultra-reliable hardware provider. Cisco also offers private 5G networks at the enterprise level.&nbsp;



Outside of the 5G opportunity, there are multiple reasons to consider Cisco Systems. The company is well known to be one of the more reliable tech <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/dividend-stocks/">dividend stocks</a>, yielding 3.3%. Dividend yields of 3% aren&rsquo;t unusual, but that&rsquo;s relatively high in the tech world.



My colleague Charles Munyi noted that Cisco Systems is transforming into a recurring software business. That transition offers more predictable, recurring revenues. It is also less exposed to the cyclical ebbs and flows more commonly in the hardware industry. Better margins are another added benefit of a greater overall software exposure. Furthermore, Cisco Systems is exposed to data center AI growth through its switching business.&nbsp;



<h2>Iridium Communications (IRDM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/iridium-communications-irdm-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="the Iridium Satellite Communications logo seen displayed on a smartphone"><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Iridium Communications (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/irdm-stock-quote/">IRDM</a>) stock represents a firm that is part telecom company and part space company. The company provides voice and data communication services to governments, non-governmental organizations and consumers.&nbsp;



It also provides hosted payload services on satellites, satellite handsets, and other products and services that give it a firm footing in the space sector.



Early this year, the company announced that it plans to make its low Earth orbit constellation <a href="https://spacenews.com/iridium-pivots-to-standardized-direct-to-device-satellite-services/">compatible with 5G standards</a>.&nbsp;



Iridium Communications stands out to me for its fundamentals. The company has experienced strong top line growth <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/irdm/financials/">over the past five years</a>. However, it&rsquo;s the last three years that stand out to me. It is within that time frame that the company found overall profitability.&nbsp;



The company posted its first full year of net earnings in 2022, and those earnings nearly doubled in 2023. This suggests that Iridium Communications is a well-run company that is exposed to the emerging 5G opportunity.

7 5G Stocks You'll Regret Ignoring in the Future

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
While the 6G race is well underway, some curious investors may wonder when and how 6G technology will come. Many analysts predict the technology will begin testing between 2025 and 2028, with the first commercial applications arriving <a href="https://www.digi.com/blog/post/when-is-6g-coming-what-does-it-mean-for-5g-4g#:~:text=6G%20specification%20development%20and%20standardization,5G%20Advanced%20in%202024%2D2025.">around 2030</a>. Yet, 6G is more than just a faster telecommunications network. The introduction of 6G could result in significantly increased network capacity and functional range. That means the best 6G stocks to buy are those actively investing in taking advantage of this new spectrum.



As such, savvy investors should understand that attempting to invest in 6G technologies this early on is a long-term play. These investments may take a decade or more to mature, with no guarantee of future success. However, as we&rsquo;ve seen with 3G, 4G and 5G networks, the natural progression to 6G will accelerate many industries beyond telecom itself. Thus, here are three companies whose stock value could rise generously over the long-term thanks to their 6G projects.



<h2>Ericsson (ERIC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/5gtelephonepole1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of a 5G telephone pole"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Swedish telecom giant, Ericsson (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/eric-stock-quote/">ERIC</a>) discusses the potential of 6G network technology as something which will create a cyber-physical continuum. For this legacy network builder, the technology is meant to bridge the current gap in time that exists on current information networks.



While primarily a European-focused company, Ericsson is a notable member of the <a href="https://www.ericsson.com/en/blog/2022/6/north-american-next-g-alliance-6g">NextG Alliance</a> in the U.S., which is committed to accelerating the introduction of 6G tech in North America. Moreover, as Ericsson invests in these future technologies, its likelihood of capitalizing on its intellectual properties in the future increases.



From a financial standpoint, the company has received some mixed attention depending on the analytical angle. On one hand, its total quarterly revenue decreased by 14.75% year-over-year down to <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/ERIXF:OTCMKTS?sa=X&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjQ7NLXzIWHAxU0HBAIHQcIBo0Q3ecFegQINRAh&amp;window=5D">53.33 billion Swedish Krona</a> for the first quarter. On the other, its profit margin improved by 98.35%, signaling efficient financial management. This could make ERIXF one of the best 6G stocks to hold onto as it survives an ever-evolving telecom landscape.



<h2>Nokia (NOK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/nokia-nok-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="a backdrop featuring the Nokia logo with a mobile phone featuring the Nokia logo on its screen in the foreground"><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Despite once being a master of the cell phone industry, Nokia (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nok-stock-quote/">NOK</a>) has transitioned into a network tech company these days. For some, this has made the stock seem down and out. For others, it has repeatedly earned attention for its <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/05/meme-stocks-with-value-7-strong-buys-that-can-rise-without-roaring-kitty/#:~:text=Nokia%20(NOK)&amp;text=Among%20the%20%E2%80%9Coriginal%20meme%20stocks,NOK%20stock%20is%20so%20cheap.">meme potential</a>. Yet, whatever the perception of Nokia may be, it is one of the companies central to the development of 6G.



This stems from Nokia&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.nokia.com/about-us/news/releases/2024/02/22/nokia-skt-ntt-and-docomo-team-up-to-implement-ai-in-the-6g-air-interface/">direct cooperation</a> with major companies like SKT (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/skm-stock-quote/">SKM</a>) and NTT (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nppxf-stock-quote/">NPPXF</a>) to push onward in researching the integration of 6G and AI. Like in the case of many other companies pursuing 6G, Nokia is fairly secretive about the specific details of its technology. But, it has openly stated it is working on a high-speed networking project for interfacing an artificial intelligence with a different artificial intelligence.



Should the company succeed, it would become a critical service provider to the world of AI companies currently competing to bring the technology to the next level. Time will tell if Nokia&rsquo;s comeback will be 6G tech.



<h2>Qualcomm (QCOM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/qcom-stock-10-300x169.jpg" alt="Qualcomm (QCOM) logo on the side of a building in San Jose, CA."><div>Source: jejim / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Of all the companies responsible for the integration and application of 6G, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/qcom-stock-quote/">QCOM</a>) might stand in the best position to take advantage of the new technology. That&rsquo;s because QCOM is directly responsible for the design and manufacturing of the microchips which power devices to connect to internet and telecom networks.



For now, Qualcomm has not announced any specific chips that would harness the power of a 6G frequency spectrum, but like many others, the company is <a href="https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2024/03/6g-foundry-rethinking-the-control-plane">openly speculating</a> as to what the best configurations would be for maximizing coverage in a future that relies on both <a href="https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2024/05/6g-foundry-make-the-migration-from-5g-to-6g-a-rewarding-experience">5G and 6G</a>.



Furthermore, Qualcomm is one of the best long-term 6G stocks as it has both the financial and industry prowess necessary to survive the next 10 years before the technology becomes mainstream. Its processors and connective chips are likely to continue growing as staples of the broader tech industry.
