Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) price target of $3.00.
Analyst, Jeff Kvaal, said, "Nokia is likely experiencing a difficult 3Q, ahead of a possible Windows Phone (Nasdaq: MSFT) recovery in 4Q. Drivers of a solid 2Q should fade in 3Q and may cause shares to relinquish recent gains (+50% vs. SP500: +4% since 2Q results). New WP8 devices to be announced in Sept.; we expect investors to remain wary ahead of sales data."
Kvaal notes that the full-touch Asha could positively surprise, but with the cash burn rate set to accelerate in the 2H of 2012, the next phase of recovery is unlikely by year-end. Therefore, he lowers FY12 EPS estimate from (EUR0.24) to (EUR0.33) and FY13 from EUR0.05 to (EUR0.06). In terms of U.S. currency, FY12 lowered from -$0.32 to -$0.43 and FY13 from $0.06 to -$0.08.
In conclusion, the Barclays analyst, said, "We assume Lumia volumes reach 10m/Q by YE13, evidence of which is unlikely before WP8 sell through data emerges in late 4Q12. Until then, we expect shares to trade on near term dynamics."
