Der weltgrößte Handyhersteller, die finnische Nokia, präsentiert für das abgelaufene dritte Quartal einen Umsatz von 7.224 Milliarden Euro nach 7.050 Milliarden im Vorjahr. Der Vorsteuergewinn lag bei 1.245 Milliarden nach 1.068 Milliarden im Vorjahr. Dies entspricht einer EPS (Gewinn je Aktie) Steigerung von 16 auf 18 cents. Der Markt hatte ein EPS von 17 cents bei einem Umsatz von 7.273 Milliarden Euro erwartet.
HELSINKI, Oct 17 (Reuters) - The world's largest mobile phone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE) posted on Thursday profits at the high end of market expectations as demand for its new phones countered weak markets, and said it expected fourth quarter earnings to be roughly flat year-on-year.
Nokia, a bellwether technology stock, said it expected pro forma earnings per share of 0.23-0.25 euros and net sales of 8.9-9.2 billion euros for the fourth quarter.
The Finnish company posted July-September pro forma EPS of 0.18 euros -- higher than the median of estimates in a Reuters poll of analysts and beating the company's own forecast of 0.15-0.17 euros.
