Nokia shares jumped in January 2021 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 "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1386. 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€3.3 billion (£2.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Nokia's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Nokia.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 10.79
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Nokia's overall score of 10.79 (as at 12/31/2018) is excellent – landing it in it in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
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.
Social score: 7.74/100
Nokia's social score of 7.74 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 when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 3.76/100
Nokia's governance score puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Nokia is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Nokia scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Nokia has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

We're not expecting Nokia to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Nokia's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 9 April 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Nokia shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Nokia shares which in turn could have impacted Nokia's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Nokia's shares have ranged in value from as little as EUR€3.2 up to EUR€5.769. 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 0.5771. This would suggest that Nokia's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
