JPMorgan analyst Sandeep Deshpande has revised the price target for Nokia (NOK, Financial) from EUR 6.05 to EUR 5.60, while maintaining an Overweight rating on the shares. This adjustment reflects current market conditions and the analyst's analysis, indicating continued confidence in Nokia's potential [1].

The move comes after Nokia was selected by Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) to deploy a private 5G wireless network. The deal, valued at $31 million, is significant as it makes MLGW the first municipal utility in the United States to implement a full-scale standalone 5G private wireless network [2].

Nokia will provide its AirScale radio access equipment, 5G Core Enterprise system, microwave backhaul solution, towers, managed services, and NetGuard cybersecurity products for the project. The network is expected to support MLGW's grid modernization strategy, enhancing power distribution and reducing the risk of unplanned outages [2].

Analysts forecast an average target price of $5.65 for Nokia Oyj (NOK, Financial) over the next year, with a high estimate of $7.00 and a low estimate of $3.80. This average target implies an upside of 18.79% from the current price of $4.76 [1].

GuruFocus estimates the GF Value for Nokia Oyj (NOK, Financial) to be $4.73 in one year, suggesting a downside of 0.53% from the current price of $4.755 [1].

Nokia's win with MLGW is part of a growing trend of private 5G deployments in the utilities sector. Other major players in the market include Ericsson, which has also secured several private network deals in the U.S. and globally [2].
