The Reddit forum caused a short squeeze in the stocks of several companies including Nokia, gaming retailer GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME), and BlackBerry Ltd. (NYSE:BB).

SEB, one of the largest financial institutions in Scandinavia raised its price target on Nokia from $4.25 to $4.60 per share and reiterated its Buy rating, the Motley Fool reported Monday.

Ericsson stock closed 3.38% higher at $12.23 on Monday.

Why It Matters: Nokia is a leader in 5G, a technology in focus for the foreseeable future.

SEB expects Nokia to restore dividends and is positive on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report due Feb. 4, the Fool noted.
