Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) is one of the best-performing AI stocks to buy. On April 9, Jefferies identified a select group of European technology stocks that it believes will outperform in 2026.

The research firm said that “semicap” companies are expected to see a cyclical de-rating after a peak in early 2026. In contrast, analog firms with exposure to industrial and AI markets are entering an upcycle, supported by tight supply and growing prices.

This growth is expected to come from its Optical and IP networking businesses. The firm believes that the company could potentially raise medium-term growth expectations, especially as demand for IP switching from hyperscalers increases.

In other news, Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) held its Annual General Meeting on April 9. At the meeting, the Board was authorized to distribute an aggregate maximum of EUR 0.14 per share as a dividend.
