President Donald Trump during his joint address to Congress on Tuesday evening called for ending the CHIPS Act, which provides manufacturing incentives to semiconductor companies setting up their facilities in the U.S.
What Happened: During a primetime address to Congress on Tuesday, the president criticized the legislation, saying, "Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing." Trump urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to "get rid" of it and use "whatever is left over" to "reduce debt or any other reason you want to."
According to <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chips-incentives-awards/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>, the CHIPS Program has fueled investments in American semiconductor manufacturing. About $38 billion in grants and loans have been awarded to 32 companies across 23 states, mobilizing over $380 billion in private investment and creating an estimated 145,000 new jobs by 2030. 
Most notably, the Departments of Defense and Commerce awarded Intel Corp. up to $3 billion in CHIPS Act funding to expand domestic manufacturing of advanced semiconductors, strengthening the U.S. supply chain for critical national security needs.
Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd., on the other hand, was the recipient of $6.6 billion worth of grants, out of which $5 billion was a loaned amount for setting up projects worth $65 billion in Phoenix, Arizona.
Here are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries that have received grants under the CHIPS Act.

Why It Matters: A few hours before Trump&#8217;s Congress address, TSMC announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44124444/taiwan-semiconductor-rises-as-100-billion-u-s-expansion-defies-market-downturn">plans to invest</a> an additional $100 billion in advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. Building on a $65 billion project already underway in Arizona, this expansion brings the company&#8217;s total U.S. investment to a massive $165 billion. 
Addressing TSMC&#8217;s latest investment, Trump said, &#8220;All that was important to them was they didn't want to pay the tariffs. So they came and they're building. And many other companies are coming. We don't have to give them money, we just want to protect our businesses and our people, and they will come because they won't have to pay tariffs if they build in America.&#8221;

Nokia Oyj&nbsp;is a worldwide provider of telecom equipment and network infrastructure solutions. The computer and technology sector giant is a major facilitator of 5G and 4G infrastructure deployment along with competitor Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eric#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>).
<h2>Nokia Offers Solutions for All Networks </h2>
Originally known as a dominant mobile phone manufacturer before the age of smartphones, Nokia migrated towards becoming an end-to-end network infrastructure solutions provider. They have expanded their services to cover a wide range of networks, including:
<ul>
<li>Mobile Networks: Nokia provides hardware and software to outfit and manage 5G and earlier generation networks to telecom and wireless cellular providers like T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmus#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>). It was a pioneer in spearheading 5G rollouts and will be a key player in 6G, which is expected to expand the metaverse and extended reality (XR). The commercial rollout is expected to be commercially available by 2030.</li>
<li>Cloud Networks: Nokia offers cloud infrastructure services, including software-defined networking (SDN) and network security solutions. They provide network management and optimization software and tools.</li>
<li>Optical Networks: Nokia offers high-capacity optical transport solutions to enable data transmission over long distances, as well as internet protocol (IP) networking routers and switches that enable data transmission across networks.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Nokia&#39;s Business Is Still Normalizing </h2>
Macroeconomic pressures on telecom operators have caused them to slow down their spending, which is having an impact on Nokia, especially with the tough YoY comps.
Nokia reported that in the second quarter of 2024, EPS was 7 cents, which managed to beat consensus estimates by a penny. Revenues fell 21.8% YoY to $4.87 billion due to tough comps and normalization from an exceptional 2023 year-ago quarter. This missed consensus expectations of $5.13 billion.
<h2>Revenue Decline By Segments </h2>
Nokia faced revenue declines in all its segments. Network Infrastructure sales fell 11% YoY. This caused management to lower their sales forecasts to negative 2% to 3%, down from up 2% to 8%. Operating margins are expected to be between 11.5% and 14.5%.
The Cloud and Network Services segment saw a 16% YoY sales drop, which also included the 3% headwind from divesting its device management and service platform. Sales guidance moving forward was lowered from negative 5% to flat, down from negative 2% to 3%. Operating margin estimates remain unchanged, around 6% to 9%.
The Mobile Networks segment saw the worst revenue decline of 24% YoY due to macroeconomic pressure and the normalization in India. This was due to experiencing the most 5G deployment in the same quarter last year in India. Management revised down the decline from negative 19% to negative 14% with operating margins in the 4% to 7% range.
While the decline in revenue by segments appears ugly, the reality is that India&#39;s 5G infrastructure spending actually peaked in 2023, resulting in outsized revenue spikes for Nokia last year. What goes up quickly will often take longer to normalize, and that&#39;s what is happening now. North America&#39;s revenues and most other major regions were positive. This is why the stock actually rallied from $3.60 after the Q2 2024 earnings release.
<h2>Optical Networks Segment Integration of Infinera </h2>
Nokia announced on June 27, 2024, that it would be acquiring optical network solutions provider Infinera Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/infn#NASDAQ">INFN</a>) for $6.65 per share. This will bolster its largest segment, Optical Networks, adding over $1.5 billion in annual sales to its ledger. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
<h2>NOK Stock Forms an Ascending Triangle Pattern </h2>
An ascending price channel is comprised of ascending or rising upper trendline resistance and ascending lower trendline support. A breakout forms when the stock surges through the upper trendline, and a breakdown occurs when the stock falls below the lower trendline support.
<img alt="Nokia NOK stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20241014054528_chartx-nok.jpg" style="height:779px; width:915px" />
NOK stock has been uptrending since its Q2 2024 earnings report. The daily candlestick chart illustrates an ascending triangle pattern with a flat-top upper trendline resistance near $4.54, which also happens to be the consensus analyst target. The rising lower trendline has held pullbacks at higher levels as the stock nears the apex point, where it will either break out or break down, falling through the lower trendline. The daily RSI fell to the 54-band. Fibonacci (Fib) pullback support levels are at $4.21, $4.01, $3.80 and $3.64.
Nokia&#39;s average consensus price target is $4.54, and its highest analyst price target sits at $6.50. It has two Buy, four Hold, and two Sell ratings from analysts. The stock trades at 12.11x forward earnings.
Actionable Options Strategies: Bullish investors can consider using cash-secured puts to buy NOK at the Fib pullback support levels for entry and write covered calls to execute a wheel strategy for income in addition to the 1.83% annual dividend yield.

Don't Sleep on Nokia: Quietly Accelerating Into Infinera Merger

Ciena Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cien#NYSE">CIEN</a>) can be considered a legacy company in the computer and technology sector when it comes to the Internet. It was one of the original manufacturers of optical fiber, which provided networking switches and connectivity solutions since 1992. The company has managed to stay relevant, unlike so many internet boom companies, and remains on the cutting edge of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Ciena is essential to the AI boom as it provides one of the crucial elements required&nbsp;for&nbsp;AI deployment: high bandwidth&nbsp;and low latency connectivity.
Ciena operates in the computer and technology sector, competing with networking companies like Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csco#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Juniper Networks Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>), which was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hpe#NYSE">HPE</a>), and Infinera Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/infn#NASDAQ">INFN</a>) which is being acquired by Nokia Oyj (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nok#NYSE">NOK</a>).
<h2>How Ciena Is Essential to the AI Revolution </h2>
Ciena is a leader in the optical networking segment, as its products enable long-distance, high-capacity data transmission solutions for the backbones of numerous networks. Data transmission volumes will only grow, driven by AI deployment and cloud computing. Its optical transceivers enable low-latency transmission, which is essential for AI applications to relay responsiveness and fast performance. Its Blue Planet AI-powered software-defined network (SDN) enables network operators to program, automate, and manage networks, orchestrate end-to-end services, and scale bandwidth on demand as needed.
<h2>Cloud Providers Lead the Recovery &nbsp;</h2>
Ciena is approaching positive normalization after many volatile years driven by the pandemic shortage and post-pandemic inventory glut. Cloud providers are leading the recovery, building out networks to support cloud and growing AI traffic.&nbsp;Data centers are a big chunk of Ciena&#39;s cloud provider clients. Three of the four major cloud providers are driving demand for Ciena&#39;s 400 ZR, a high-capacity datacenter interconnect (DCI) capable of transmitting 400 GB ethernet over DCI links, targeting a minimum of 80 kilometers.
Ciena&#39;s other client group, service providers, is experiencing a gradual recovery as the inventory glut is digested. Ciena still expects the U.S. to recover fully in a few quarters, while Europe continues to lag due to geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds.
<h2>Gloomy Headline Numbers Underscore Improving Metrics </h2>
Ciena&#39;s third-quarter of 2024 earnings report was a sign of relief as results underscore the recovery occurring, enabling a turnaround after many negative quarters. The company reported EPS of 35 cents, beating analyst expectations by 6 cents. GAAP net income was $14.2 million, down from $29.7 million last year. Adjusted net income was $50.8 million, which was also lower than the $89.1 million non-GAAP income in the year-ago period. Revenue fell 11.8% YoY to $942.3 million, which was better than expected compared to the consensus estimates of $928.31 million. Ciena reported a strong book-to-bill ratio above 1, indicating stronger demand that it can fulfill.
<h2>Ciena Issues Flat Guidance </h2>
Ciena expects revenues of $1.06 billion to $1.14 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 versus $1.12 billion in consensus estimates. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be in the low 40% range, and adjusted operating expenses are expected to be around $350 million. Full-year 2024 revenues are estimated at around $4 billion, with a 4% to 8% CAGR long-term. CIEN stock tumbled 7% the following days.
Ciena CEO Gary Smith commented, &quot;We delivered strong results for the fiscal third quarter that reflect growing momentum with cloud providers and continued gradual recovery with service providers. With leading innovation that is well-aligned with our customers&#39; focus on building cloud and AI-capable infrastructures, we are well-positioned to continue to gain share and deliver profitable growth.&quot;
On Oct. 2, 2024, Ciena announced a $1 billion stock buyback program commencing in fiscal 2025 and ending in fiscal 2027. CIEN stock surged 7% on the announcement.
<h2>CIEN Is Forming a Potential ABCD Reversal Pattern </h2>
An ABCD pattern is a harmonic reversal pattern comprised of two higher peaks and one higher low. The pattern resembles a rising lightning bolt. A market structure high (MSL) sell trigger often triggers the reversal.
<img alt="Ciena CIEN stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20241006191744_charta-cien.jpg" style="height:753px; width:915px" />
CIEN stock initially sold off on its earnings report and guidance to a swing low of $50.83, forming the C-point. Shares rallied higher through the B-point pre-earnings peak at $59.42 to continue higher toward an imminent D-point, which could trigger a reversal. The daily anchored VWAP support is rising at $56.78. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is rising to the 75-band. Fibonacci (Fib) pullback support levels are at $62.91, $57.69, $53.76, and $50.83. 
Ciena&#39;s average consensus price target is $61.00, and its highest analyst price target&nbsp;is&nbsp;$68.00.&nbsp;Analysts have given it 10 Buy ratings and three Hold ratings.

What Happened: Nokia is set to purchase Infinera at $6.65 per share, totaling to $2.23 billion. This share price represents a premium of 28% to Infinera&#8217;s share price on Wednesday at market close.
Infinera shareholders can choose to receive either $6.65 in cash, 1.78 Nokia shares, or $4.66 in cash and 0.53 Nokia shares, per Infinera share.
Nokia stated the acquisition of Infinera strengthens the company&#8217;s optical networking market position, particularly in North America, while advancing its strategy to diversify its customer base and enhance its webscale presence.
In addition, the transaction targets EUR 200 million in synergies by 2027 and it is expected to boost both Nokia&#8217;s operating profit and EPS from year one.
