Nokia plans to delist its shares from the Paris Stock Exchange (Euronext Paris) effective December 31, 2025, following approval by the Euronext Paris Board.
The company announced its intention on November 4, after reviewing low trading volumes, high costs, and administrative burdens tied to the listing, which originated in 2015 with the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition to support French shareholders.
Shareholder Options
French shareholders holding Nokia shares (ISIN: FI0009000681) via Euroclear France can either retain them for trading on Nasdaq Helsinki post-delisting or participate in a voluntary sales facility.
The sales facility runs from December 2 to 15, with shares sold on Nasdaq Helsinki starting January 2, 2026; Nokia covers centralization and brokerage fees. The last trading day on Euronext Paris is December 30.
Ongoing Listings
Nokia shares will continue trading on Nasdaq Helsinki, and its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The delisting does not impact Nokia’s French operations or overall strategy.
Nokia’s history in France is closely tied to its acquisition of the French telecommunications giant Alcatel-Lucent in 2015, which marked a major expansion of Nokia’s presence and operations in the country. Before this, Nokia was primarily a Finnish company with no deep historical roots in France.

The acquisition integrated Alcatel-Lucent’s extensive French infrastructure, R&D centers, and workforce into Nokia’s global operations, making France a key part of Nokia’s networks division. After the acquisition, Nokia inherited Alcatel-Lucent’s French sites involved in telecommunications equipment manufacturing and research, boosting its footprint in Europe.
