Nokia Oyj said it might see a pickup in the second half of the year as its internet network infrastructure business brings in sales and cost-cutting measures pay off.

The Finnish telecom said it expects adjusted operating profit for 2024 to be €2.3 billion to €2.9 billion ($2.5 billion to $3.2 billion), according to a statement on Thursday. Analysts had expected the profitability metric to remain stable from a year earlier at about €2.4 billion.
