Last week, the stock lost momentum and retreated $1
or 30% in couple of trading sessions after the company unveiled its brand new two
Lumias - Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 - running on Windows Phone 8 operating
system to encounter the ongoing solid competition in the smartphone industry.
Although, the company added several notable
features, but investors reacted negatively as the phones are not expected to be
on store shelves until November which gives the company very little time to
notch up sales in the financial year. Analysts complained that a limited fourth
quarter launch would be a big disappointment for consensus earnings' estimates
for the company.
Moreover, according to GMA News, investors said it
lacked "wow" and gave it a quick thumbs-down. Some analysts said
Nokia's reticence about dates, prices or carrier partners also did not help.
