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 To Sell Up To 60% Of Vested LTV 2022 Shares To Settle Withholding Taxes And Social Security Costs

Ericsson (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday after the company said it is strengthening its research and development operations in Japan, with plans to hire up to 300 professionals in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45428573/ericsson-commits-to-japan-r-d-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the telecom technology space</a>.
The expansion reflects the company&#8217;s push to accelerate innovation in 5G and beyond through strategic collaborations and local partnerships.
The Swedish telecom giant announced the R&amp;D initiative during a visit by Ericsson President and CEO Börje Ekholm, emphasizing Japan&#8217;s central role in its global innovation roadmap.

The R&amp;D push will support the development of open, high-performance programmable networks critical to Japan&#8217;s national digital infrastructure. Ekholm states these advanced networks are essential to enabling future technologies like AI and next-gen connectivity.
The investment will position Japan as a key contributor to Ericsson&#8217;s global ecosystem of suppliers, partners, and customers.
Through this initiative, Ericsson intends to create new avenues for cooperation with Japanese partners, allowing them to contribute to the company&#8217;s global innovation engine.
The company&#8217;s efforts will complement ongoing 6G-focused collaborations with local universities such as Yokohama National University and the University of Electro-Communications.
Per Narvinger, Executive VP and Head of Networks at Ericsson, underscored Japan&#8217;s value in the company&#8217;s long-term strategy.
Having operated in Japan since 1985, Ericsson currently employs over 1,000 people across offices in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Sendai. Narvinger said the country&#8217;s robust tech talent and innovation ecosystem is ideal for building a stronger R&amp;D foundation.
Ericsson invests approximately $5 billion globally each year in research and development, and this Japan-centric move signals its intent to deepen roots in markets critical to the future of telecom infrastructure. The company views programmable 5G and Open RAN readiness as vital to keeping pace with digital transformation worldwide.

Ericsson Commits To R&D Investment In Japan, Plans To Create Up To 300 High-Skilled Telecom Jobs

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to reflect the correct ticker symbol for Nvidia.
Huawei Technologies is reportedly preparing to test its most powerful artificial intelligence processor to date, with hopes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44356270/huawei-develops-in-house-chips-to-counter-us-sanctions-and-leap-ahead-in-the-tech-war">replacing high-end chips</a> from U.S. giant NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), even as U.S. sanctions continue to stifle China&#8217;s semiconductor ambitions.
What Happened: Huawei has begun the testing phase of its new AI chip, the Ascend 910D, which is designed to rival Nvidia's flagship processors, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/chinas-huawei-develops-new-ai-chip-seeking-to-match-nvidia-8166f606?mod=tech_lead_pos1">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The chip will undergo a series of technical tests, with samples expected to be ready by late May. The Ascend 910D aims to surpass Nvidia's H100 chip, a popular choice for AI training tasks.
This move marks a significant step forward for Huawei's semiconductor division, which has faced substantial challenges due to <a href="http://v/">U.S. sanctions over</a> the past six years.

This year, Huawei plans to ship over 800,000 Ascend 910B and 910C chips. Customers include state-run telecoms and companies like ByteDance, the report noted, citing the sources.&nbsp;
However, Huawei has been struggling to manufacture these chips on a large scale due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963176/chinese-tech-firms-led-by-alibaba-hoard-nvidia-ai-chips-amid-us-sanctions">obstacles in its supply chain</a>. The company has been excluded from working with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Its closest alternative, Semiconductor Manufacturing International, is also restricted from acquiring the latest chip-making technology.
Why It&#8217;s Important: Earlier this month, the U.S. government placed Nvidia's H20 chip—its most advanced processor available for sale in China without a license—on a list of semiconductors facing sales restrictions.
Nvidia revealed that this move would lead to a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker"> $5.5 billion financial hit</a>.
On Sunday, Chamath Palihapitiya spoke about how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45030669/chamath-palihapitiya-says-nvidia-is-huaweis-new-target-a-national-champion-that-crushed-tech-giants-with-a-low-end-disruptor-strategy">Huawei has effectively executed</a> a &#8220;low-end disruptor&#8221; strategy. This strategy focuses on creating products that match or exceed the quality of industry leaders, but at a more affordable price.
He highlighted several companies Huawei has already surpassed, including Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>) and Nokia (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>).
Previously, the SPAC king raised concerns that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44891778/nvidia-not-acting-in-us-interests-says-chamath-palihapitiya-questions-how-alibaba-or-deepseek-are-one-step-ahead">Nvidia may not be prioritizing</a> the best interests of the U.S.

Nvidia Faces New Challenge As Huawei Tests Powerful Ascend 910D AI Chip Amid US Sanctions, Aiming To Disrupt High-End Market: Report (CORRECTED)

Chamath Palihapitiya took to X on Sunday to discuss Huawei&#8217;s strategic approach in the tech industry. Palihapitiya emphasized that Huawei, a prominent Chinese company, has successfully implemented a &#8220;low-end disruptor&#8221; strategy. This involves creating products that are either equivalent to or better than those of existing market leaders, but at a lower cost.
What Happened: The SPAC King identified several companies that Huawei has already outperformed, including Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>), Nokia Oyj (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>), and Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CISCO#NASDAQ">CISCO</a>). He also noted that Huawei is making progress against QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) and has set its sights on Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Palihapitiya&#8217;s comments come amid growing concerns about China&#8217;s technological advancements and their impact on global markets.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Worth noting that Huawei, a Chinese National Champion, has systematically executed a "low-end disruptor" strategy with a lot of success. "Low-end Disruptor" simply means making an equivalent or better product for less than incumbents. End bossed: 1. Ericsson 2. Nokia 3. Cisco…
&mdash; Chamath Palihapitiya (@chamath) <a href="https://twitter.com/chamath/status/1916529549502013649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 27, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Palihapitiya&#8217;s remarks align with recent developments in China&#8217;s tech sector, where companies like Huawei are advancing despite international challenges. This includes Huawei&#8217;s efforts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44970472/chinas-chip-breakthrough-without-asml-makes-chamath-palihapitiya-take-stock-of-beijings-formidable-nature-america-can-win-if">develop in-house chips</a> to counter U.S. sanctions, as reported in March.

Why It Matters: Palihapitiya&#8217;s observations underscore the competitive pressure that Chinese companies are exerting on Western tech giants. Huawei&#8217;s strategy of producing cost-effective yet high-quality products is reshaping the competitive landscape. This is particularly relevant as China continues to make strides in chip manufacturing, even without access to advanced tools like those from ASML Holding .
Huawei is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44356270/huawei-develops-in-house-chips-to-counter-us-sanctions-and-leap-ahead-in-the-tech-war">accelerating efforts</a> to replace U.S. components by developing its own computer chips and operating system, with its Kirin X90 chip recently earning national security certification. As its Windows license nears expiration, Huawei plans to launch HarmonyOS-powered PCs later this year to reduce reliance on American technology amid rising U.S.-China trade tensions.
Palihapitiya has previously <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44891778/nvidia-not-acting-in-us-interests-says-chamath-palihapitiya-questions-how-alibaba-or-deepseek-are-one-step-ahead">expressed concerns</a> about companies like Nvidia not acting in the best interests of the U.S., highlighting the geopolitical implications of these technological advancements.

In The Holiday Shortened Easter Week, These Large-Cap Stock Were Top Performers (Apr 14-Apr 18): Are These In Your Portfolio?

A top Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42029445/trump-names-pro-starlink-fcc-commissioner-brendan-carr-as-chairperson">official</a> has urged European allies to back Starlink, a subsidiary of Elon Musk's SpaceX and U.S. tech over China.
What Happened: Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0a086fc2-1955-4ded-8558-6f9f85a0679d">told</a> the Financial Times that European hesitation over Starlink service is misplaced.
His comments follow concerns raised after Washington threatened to shut off Starlink service in Ukraine. "If you're concerned about Starlink, just wait for the CCP's version, then you'll be really worried," Carr said.
Carr has been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42029445/trump-names-pro-starlink-fcc-commissioner-brendan-carr-as-chairperson">strong supporter of Musk's Starlink</a>. He staunchly opposed the FCC's decision not to offer nearly $900 million in subsidies to Starlink.
The FCC chair criticized what he described as European "protectionism" and an "anti-American" bias, especially in the regulatory treatment of U.S. companies. He added that Europe needs to choose sides: "It's sort of time for choosing."

Ross Gerber Points Out Ordering EU Goods Under $800 Still Keeps You Tax-Free</a>
U.K.-based telecom firms BT and Virgin Media O2 are currently trialing Starlink's tech, though neither has entered a formal agreement.
Carr also warned that European suppliers like Nokia Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) and Ericsson (NASAQ: ERIC) may face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44705879/trump-tariffs-push-eu-to-hit-23-billion-in-us-exports-including-orange-juice-poulty-and-steel-from-red-states">Trump-era tariffs</a> unless they expand U.S.-based manufacturing.
Nokia previously said that it sees the U.S. as its "second home," with major manufacturing and R&amp;D already based in the country. Ericsson already has a factory in Texas and may expand further, depending on tariffs.
Why It's Important: Last week, reports emerged that the EU and China had agreed to explore <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44756940/europe-china-eye-ev-price-pact-to-avert-trump-tariff-escalation-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-pushes-for-zero-eu-tariffs-amid-declining-sales">setting minimum prices</a> for Chinese-made electric vehicles. The talks come against the backdrop of rising global trade tensions following Trump's sweeping new tariffs.
Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO reportedly made a direct appeal to Trump, urging him to reverse the tariffs and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44735140/most-people-dont-have-the-balls-to-do-it-says-mark-cuban-praising-musk-for-going-all-in-with-his-own-money-for-his-startups">instead support the creation</a> of a "free trade zone" between Europe and the U.S.
However, despite Musk's substantial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44679026/elon-musk-made-unsucessful-appeals-to-trump-to-reverse-new-tariffs-as-tesla-likely-to-take-a-hit-report">political donations to Republicans</a> and his advisory relationship with Trump, his efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
Earlier, it was also reported that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44784857/eu-threatens-additional-taxes-on-us-tech-giants-amid-ongoing-tariff-war-we-are-developing-retaliatory-measures-says-von-der-leyen">EU is considering implementing taxes</a> on major U.S. tech firms such as Meta Platforms, Inc.

Dividend: The board approved the 2024 proposed dividend of SEK 2.85 per share on March 25. The company will pay the dividend in two installments of SEK 1.43 per share and SEK 1.42 per share.
Outlook: Ericsson&nbsp;expects&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter&nbsp;sales</a> growth&nbsp;for Networks and Cloud Software and Services to be similar to the 3-year average seasonality.
Based on its current assessment of announced tariffs, it expects second-quarter adjusted gross margin for networks of 48% % to 50%.
Ericsson remains confident in its strong position in Mobile Networks and expects Enterprise to stabilize in 2025.
Bloomberg&#8217;s Matthew Bloxham <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-15/ericsson-beats-estimates-as-mobile-operators-buy-more-5g-gear?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects</a> Ericsson to tackle global tariff storms better than analysts&#8217; expectations via cost-cutting tailwinds, preemptive U.S. inventory restocking, and limited exposure to China-sourced components.
While North America accounted for about 30% of the company&#8217;s revenue in 2024, Bloomberg cited Ericsson&#8217;s 2024 annual report as citing the company&#8217;s diversification of its supply chain. The company is building a factory in Texas to produce 5G equipment for U.S. customers.
Morgan Stanley&#8217;s&nbsp;Sandeep Deshpande&nbsp;told Bloomberg that Ericsson&#8217;s U.S. business strength was partially driven by customers &#8220;buying products in anticipation of tariffs.
Price Action: ERIC stock is up 8.66% at $8.09 at the last check on Tuesday.

Ericsson shares are trading higher after the company reported Q1 financial results. Additionally, the company and Bell Canada announced the successful test of AI-native link adaptation to boost network speed and efficiency.

<ul>
<li>Bell is the first operator globally to successfully field test AI-native link adaptation, a feature of&nbsp;Ericsson's 5G Advanced portfolio</li>
<li>This next-generation feature is being developed at&nbsp;Ericsson's Ottawa R&amp;D site&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
OTTAWA, ON and MONTRÉAL, April 15, 2025 /CNW/ -- Bell Canada and Ericsson (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>) have conducted a successful field test of AI-native link adaptation – the first globally. This innovative technology uses real-time AI to dynamically adapt networks in response to changes in signal quality, interference, and other factors. The result is an enhanced user experience through increased throughput and spectral efficiency. This collaboration marks a significant breakthrough in applying artificial intelligence to improve the performance of radio access networks (RAN).
AI-native link adaptation dynamically optimizes spectral efficiency across mobile networks, significantly improving network performance. The in-field tests with Bell demonstrated:
<ul>
<li>Improved network user experience: Up to 20 percent higher downlink throughput, facilitating benefits such as faster download speeds.</li>
<li>More efficient use of network capacity: Increased spectral efficiency by up to 10 percent, improving capacity and reliability of connections.</li>

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Pre-Market Session

U.S. stock futures were volatile on Tuesday following a two-day advance. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed in premarket.
Donald Trump hinted at helping the car companies while talking to reporters in his Oval Office on Monday. He explained that automakers require a transition period to shift production from Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.
&#8220;And they need a little bit of time because they're going to make them here, but they need a little bit of time. So I'm talking about things like that,&#8221; he said.
Stocks advanced for two consecutive days after he exempted smartphones, computers, and semiconductors from the reciprocal tariffs on Friday. However, he hinted that he may look at levying duties on the chips imported into the U.S. on Sunday in a Truth Social post.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.38% and the two-year bond was at 3.86%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing an 82.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that she sees a &#8220;light at the end of the tunnel,&#8221; despite the ongoing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44807265/cathie-wood-says-shock-therapy-from-trumps-trade-moves-may-end-prolonged-economic-slump"> tariff turmoil</a>. According to Wood, tariffs could be the catalyst to end a three-year "rolling recession."
She said that Trump&#8217;s decision to bring Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into the process indicates a move to reduce both tariffs and non-tariff trade obstacles. She contends this shift wouldn&#8217;t have occurred without the initial &#8220;shock therapy&#8221; of aggressive trade measures.
The slowdown caused by the tariff introduction will give the administration and the Federal Reserve "more degrees of freedom to stimulate than most investors have been expecting,&#8221; she said.
This will create a "clarion call" for tax cuts, deregulation, and lower interest rates, ultimately paving the way for economic recovery, Wood added.

The analysts at BlackRock extended their tactical horizon back to six to 12 months and resumed their positive view on U.S., while still expecting the &#8220;ongoing risk asset volatility and potentially sharp reversals.&#8221;
Spiking yields in long-term U.S. Treasuries seemed to be a factor in the change in tariff tactics, the weekly note stated.
&#8220;We stay underweight long-term Treasuries, our highest conviction view: tariffs are likely to add to already sticky inflation, and congressional budget plans last week reinforce the outlook for persistent budget deficits. We favor gold instead as a portfolio diversifier.&#8221;
According to BlackRock, the broad-based equity selloff has created opportunities to tap into certain sectors, and &#8220;selectivity is key.&#8221;
&#8220;We still like U.S. technology benefitting from the AI buildout and adoption. We also favor global banks. That includes U.S. banks given the scope for deregulation even with some potential economic pain.&#8221;
