Nortel jumps on Orange deal hopes
Tuesday September 16, 4:19 am ET
LONDON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Shares in Canadian telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks (Toronto:NT.TO - News; NYSE:NT - News) leapt on Tuesday after a newspaper report said it had won a supply deal worth up to one billion euros ($1.13 billion).

French daily Le Figaro said in an introduction to an interview with Nortel Chief Executive Frank Dunn published on Tuesday that France Telecom's (Paris:FTE.PA - News) Orange (Paris:ORA.PA - News) unit and Nortel had signed the deal on third-generation mobile network equipment worth 800 million to 1.0 billion euros last week.
France Telecom and Nortel declined to comment on the report, which cited no sources.
Nortel shares in Frankfurt (Frankfurt:NT.F - News) were up 5.3 percent to 3.76 euro ($4.24), up 2.7 percent on their New York close on Monday.
The news hit Nortel's European competitors, with Finnish handset maker Nokia (NOV1.HE) down 1.5 percent and France's Alcatel (Paris:CGEP.PA - News) down 1.4 percent, making them the two largest decliners in the DJ Stoxx 50 index (Zurich:^STOXX50E - News).
"Definitely (the Orange news) are a bit worrying for Nokia. There is a lot of price pressure in the networks' market currently and Nokia's network unit has recently not been able to get sizeable 3G deals" said Conventum analyst Jari Honko in Helsinki.

"We are confident about this contract," a spokeswoman for Alcatel said. "We are waiting for Orange to issue a statement on it before saying anything else."

The spokeswoman's comment came after daily Le Figaro reported on Tuesday that Alcatel rival Nortel Networks (Toronto:NT.TO - News) had signed a contract for 800 million to 1 billion euros to build the third-generation network.

The report was contained in the introduction to an interview with Nortel Chief Executive Frank Dunn published by Le Figaro. Dunn was not asked about the contract in the interview.

Alcatel shares dipped about one percent on Tuesday falling to 10.54 euros by 0850 GMT. Nortel shares in Frankfurt (Frankfurt:NT.F - News) were up about five percent to 3.76 euros.

A source familiar with the matter said the contract was likely to be split, with more than one equipment provider, and that it was not yet clear who had won the bulk of the contract.

Nortel declined to comment late on Monday. Orange and France Telecom declined to comment on Tuesday.

nortel sei der kauf. na ja meinem vater habe ich diese zu $0,48 ins depot gelegt und er ist nicht traurig. ich habe sie persönlich leider nicht mehr, muss diese aber strengstens beobachten sonst gibts ärger *g*

Die Dinger liegen auch in meinem Depot, gekauft zwischen 1,33 und 25 Euro. Durch die letzten Kurserholungen bin ich durch das averaging gerade aus der Verlustzone gekommen.
Werde wohl noch  l a n g e  halten und bei Schwäche nachkaufen.

Viel Glück
