On the 27th of January, Finish telecommunications company Nokia Corporation (NYSE: NOK) surged 38% in its stock as Reddit traders boosted the brand. The company soared 42.5%, on the day marking its biggest one-day trading since February 1991 when the company started trading. Nokia is now the latest legacy tech brand on Reddit’s WallStreetBets platform.

Over the past weeks, Reddit users have triggered increases in US stocks, pushing Nokia’s stock in Europe. In the 2000s, Nokia phones were common for their durability and the popular Snake game. Nokia eventually lost its popularity and large customer base to iPhone in its transition to smartphones. In 2014, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) acquired the Nokia handset unit for EUR 3.8 billion ($5 billion at the time). The acquisition deal was completed on the 25th of April, 2014.
According to a Bloomberg report, a Mirabaud Securities analyst Neil Campling commented on recent happenings:

In addition, Nokia gained 8.3% in Helsinki shortly after Sweedish banking company Handelsbanken upped its price target on the Finish telecommunications company. The Sweedish bank stated that the target raise is due to new contracts Nokia has been signing.
However, analysts at Inderes warned that Nokia may experience volatility in its stock from the gain generated due to the the Reddit forum.
