April 12, 2013
Nokia

Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) is scheduled to report its Q1, 2013 earnings on Apr 18. In one of the latests report by Morgan Stanley, analysts predict Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) could disappoint in its Q1 earnings results. However, a report issued today by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) tells us a different story. According to JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM)’s report, the ramp of products such as Lumia 920T in China, Lumia 620/820/920 in multiple new markets will mean the bear thesis on Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) will not work in 1Q13 results despite main earnings driver NSN taking a breather after a very strong 2H12. Thus analysts from the firm believe short-term risk of Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) missing estimates is low. However, if Lumia 520 in particular does not gain traction, risks increase rapidly later in the year. Market will also focus on cash conservation/position. Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK)’s Windows 8 handsets received better traction than their Windows 7.5 handsets and though there were reports of lack of product availability, it was mainly due to lack of shipment rather than massive consumer traction. Availability of the Lumia 920 and 820 was better in 1Q13 and the 920T also shipped into China thus sell in which is what Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) reports has low risk of missing in the quarter because if

Facebook-Home-2

Instead of ‘Facebook Mobile’, Mark Zuckerberg and friends unveiled “Home” on April 4th. Facebook ‘Home’ is a super app that replaces the home screen on Android. In addition, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) announced a partner program with HTC and AT&T being the first. While it remains to be seen how adoption will play out, analysts at Sterne Agee view it as another potential competitive threat to Google’s mobile monetization efforts (the other being Samsung). Analysts find the “people first” interface unique but they believe it could be easily replicated. It will also be interesting if Android licensing terms are revised in the future. Facebook Home on Android. On 04/04/13, at a press event held at its headquarters, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) unveiled “Home” which is essentially a super app that replaces the home and lock screens of Android populating it with one’s Facebook friends and news feed. Analysts find it interesting that the announcement ended up not being a smartphone and/or mobile OS as widely anticipated but  effectively accomplishes being a Facebook phone with a launcher/skin overlay over Android. Analysts think Facebook Home posts a threat as it essentially becomes the main user interface for an Android smartphone and puts services like Gmail, search, YouTube, and Play in the background.
