About: Ericsson provides telecom equipment and services that are primarily used to build and operate mobile networks. The firm divides its business into three segments: networks, cloud and software services, and enterprise. Wireless carriers have traditionally been the firm's primary customers, but it is pushing to cater more to enterprises as well, as both try to take advantage of 5G capabilities and utilize "as-a-service" communications platforms. The company also licenses its patents to handset manufacturers.

Ericsson Jumps On Attractive Results, And Shares Deserve To Rise Further
Ericsson shares rose 8.3% on April 15th due to better-than-expected Q1 2025 financial results, including revenue and EPS and a special dividend announcement. Despite historical volatility from the 5G rollout and macroeconomic factors, Ericsson consistently generates attractive cash flow and is trading at appealing levels, warranting a soft "buy" rating for ERIC shares. Ericsson's diverse global operations, especially in North America and its Networks segment, are key revenue drivers with significant growth potential from future 5G and 6G deployments.
