On July 2, Nokia fell 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $12.535/share, with turnover of $211 million. The decline was driven by continued selling pressure following the disclosure that major asset manager FMR LLC reduced its voting rights in Nokia to below 5%, sending a bearish institutional signal that has weighed on market sentiment since July 1.

The institutional exit compounded an already fragile technical picture. Nokia had previously rallied on partnerships with Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud for AI-driven autonomous network solutions announced in late June, but the stock quickly entered a sell-the-news pattern, accumulating over 15% in losses between June 26 and June 29 as profit-taking accelerated. Although Barclays raised its target price from 8 to 8.5 euros on June 29, the upgrade failed to stem outflows.

Meanwhile, the broader communication equipment sector remained under significant pressure, with Applied Optoelectronics down 6.22%, Ciena down 4.37%, Lumentum down 3.70%, and Cisco down 2.43%, amplifying downside momentum through sector-wide linkage effects.
