Intelligent perspective on Nokia stock for March 2013

Nokia made the switch to Windows devices last year. Its Lumia smartphone devices have met some success in a market dominated by Apple and Android devices in North America. However, its becoming difficult to decipher the value in the company.

Is there hope?

At this point, all numbers point downwards. I suspect Nokia is still too expensive to buy. However, increasingly, the sales of smartphones in developed markets represent under 10% of the stock price valuation. Hopefully, in the next few quarters the numbers will start looking better specially in terms of profit margins.
