On July 29, Nokia Oyj fell 5.1% in regular trading, trading at $8.47/share, with turnover of $311 million. The decline reflects continued sell-the-news pressure following the company's strong Q2 earnings release on July 23, compounded by multiple insider transaction disclosures.

Nokia reported Q2 adjusted comparable operating profit of EUR 4.34 billion, up 18% year-over-year, significantly beating market expectations of EUR 3.82 billion. AI and cloud business orders reached EUR 2.8 billion with sales doubling year-over-year, and full-year profit guidance was raised to EUR 2.1-2.6 billion. Despite the strong results, the stock has experienced persistent selling since earnings, declining from approximately $10.28 to current levels. Additionally, the company disclosed manager transactions by executives Pressner, Hautala, and Mahajan under EU Market Abuse Regulation, further weighing on short-term sentiment.

The stock has broken well below the previous $9.30 support level, indicating selling pressure remains unresolved. Within the Communication Equipment sector, broad weakness prevailed, with Applied Optoelectronics down 9.96%, Lumentum down 7.52%, Arista Networks down 6.06%, Ciena down 5.92%, and Cisco down 0.38%.
