Nokia thinking Potential Merger with Juniper

In an attempt to bolster Nokia’s weak U.S. business, the company has been in talks with Juniper Networks. A big benefit of the merger would be to help Nokia with their telecommunications network gear. NSN has spent many years cutting costs; however, this will be no small merger as Juniper has a stock market value of $13.7 billion. In retrospect, that fiscal responsibility has allowed them to strike at the perfect time. A potential merger like this will help Nokia focus on growing their business. A major goal is competing more aggressively with industry leaders such as Ericsson and Huawei. As of right now, both Nokia and Juniper have been quiet about disclosing information about the situation. This isn’t the first time that Juniper and NSN have done business together as they are already in a partnership to jointly develop and sell network equipment to carriers. Ideally, this would make for a good relationship because of the prior partnership but Nokia could choose to go in a different direction if need be. Rumors have circulated that Alcatel-Lucent could become a wild card for Nokia. This is certainly a possibility since Alcatel-Lucent is experience a bounce back of success. In the telecommunications industry, you often hear about potential mergers. The fact that neither side is talking tells you a lot about the seriousness of the negotiations. Although nothing is imminent, don’t be surprised if a Juniper/NSN merger becomes official within the near future.
