Nokia’s troubles have been well-documented. The company, which once dominated the mobile space, has watched its popularity erode at the hands of Android and Apple’s iPhone. As sales continue to plummet, the company has been forced to rejigger its operation and layoff staff to stay afloat. It’s now betting its future on Microsoft’s Windows Phone. And although Nokia CEO Stephen Elop has urged stakeholders to hang with the company as it fights its way out of trouble, shareholders have done quite the opposite.
In the last year alone, Nokia shares are down 70 percent. Over the last five years, Nokia’s stock has shaved off 94 percent of its value. If the decline keeps coming, Nokia’s shares might hit levels the company hasn’t witnessed since 1994.
Unfortunately for Nokia, the chances of a further erosion in its stock price seem somewhat likely: as of this writing, the company’s shares are down 4 cents in premarket trading.
