Nokia Q3 2011 earnings: operating profit sinks 60 percent, but sales beat estimates

Nokia Q3 2011 earnings: operating profit sinks 60 percent, but sales beat estimates

Man, can Nokia World get here any faster. Nokia needs Windows Phone in perhaps the worst possible way, and if you had any doubt whatsoever on that, just take a look at the outfit's woeful Q3 2011 earnings. Right off the top, net sales dropped 13 percent year-over-year (and three percent from Q2), while operating profit plummeted a staggering 60 percent year-over-year (and 36 percent since the prior quarter). All told, the company recorded net sales of €9 billion ($12.35 billion), and while things are gloomy in comparison to the glory days, it still has a whopping €5.1 billion ($7 billion) in its coffers.
