Nokia shares have jumped in recent days after an online community of individual investors piled into highly shorted stocks, with the aim of drastically driving up prices.
The campaign started after users on Reddit forum wallstreetbets saw that hedge funds were shorting GameStop (GME) to profit from perceived future losses.
To counteract, they rushed in to buy stock, quickly inflating prices far beyond what had ever been seen before. GameStop's stock surged from about US$17 a share to more than US$300.
Once the technique proved successful, users began applying it to other heavily shorted stocks, including Nokia. Shares climbed from a close of €3.39 on January 22 to a close of €4.40 on January 27.
However, several trading platforms were quick to take action, halting or restricting trading across a number of stocks. Nokia shares then dropped to a close of €3.82 on January 28th.
Although some platforms have now resumed trading, the market is still extremely volatile and traders should keep a keen eye on impacted stocks.

Valuing Nokia stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Nokia's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Nokia's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, Nokia shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.
Nokia's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.8341. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Nokia's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Nokia's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is EUR€2.9 billion (£2.5 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Nokia's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Nokia is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 1.22/100
Nokia's environmental score of 1.22 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Nokia is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

We're not expecting Nokia to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, Nokia's shares have ranged in value from as little as EUR€2.08 up to EUR€4.9505. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (HE average) beta is 1, while Nokia's is 0.5005. This would suggest that Nokia's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
