ESPOO - Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) has repurchased its shares on Thursday as part of a buyback program announced on November 22, 2024, to mitigate the dilution effects of equity distributions to Infinera (NASDAQ:INFN) Corporation shareholders and certain stock-based incentives.

Following the recent transactions, Nokia now holds 235,158,898 of its own shares.

The buyback aligns with Nokia’s strategy as a B2B technology leader, leveraging its expertise in fixed, mobile, and cloud networks, and guided by the innovative work of Nokia Bell Labs. The company’s network solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into various ecosystems, offering commercialization and scalability opportunities to service providers, enterprises, and partners globally.
