Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) price target lowered from $3.50 to $2.70.

Analyst, Michael Walkley, said, "Consistent with our channel checks for the past several months and cautious stance on Nokia's fundamentals, Nokia lowered its Q2/12 guidance, announced another massive restructuring plan, and replaced several key management team members. Due to our expectations for a continued sharp decline in Symbian smartphone sales during 2012 combined with a slow ramp in Windows (Nasdaq: MSFT) smartphone volume that has a product gap until Q4/12 and continued Mobile Devices pricing pressure, we believe 2012 remains a challenging transitional year for Nokia. "

Walkley, lowers FY12 loss from (0.35) to (0.42) and FY13 from $0.07 to (0.11)
