  • Nokia has been pushing to monetize global AI adoption through its 5G infrastructure.
  • Satellogic has rallied sharply since its most recent earnings report in March, which showed a Q4 turnaround to profitability.
  • Intuitive Machines has been on a tear since NASA awarded it a $180.4 million contract to deliver seven science and technology payloads.

Nokia Corp., Intuitive Machines Inc. and Satellogic Inc. each touched fresh 52-week highs in their last session, riding a broader market tailwind as U.S. stocks eked out gains in a holiday-shortened week on hopes of a swift resolution to the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.

U.S.-listed shares of Nokia added nearly 10% last week, closing at their highest level in almost 16 years. Intuitive Machines surged 25% and Satellogic spiked roughly 13%, both closing Thursday at their highest levels in over three years.

What's Driving The Move For NOK, LUNR, And SATL

Nokia's rally has been building on the Finnish tech giant's push to monetize global AI adoption through its 5G infrastructure. In March, the company extended partnerships with leading telecom operators in Brazil and Germany, and later followed up with a new multi-year 5G radio access network deal with Britain's Virgin Media O2. 

Last month, Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to 'Neutral' from 'Sell,' citing a more constructive view of Nokia's growth prospects in optical and IP networks, segments the firm believes will continue to benefit from the ongoing AI infrastructure buildout, where Nokia has been reporting strong order momentum.

Intuitive Machines has been on a tear since NASA awarded it a $180.4 million contract to deliver seven science and technology payloads under its Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. The space tech firm is also catching a tailwind from growing excitement around SpaceX's anticipated IPO later this year, which has lifted sentiment across the sector.

Satellogic has rallied sharply since its most recent earnings report in March, which showed a fourth-quarter turnaround to profitability and a near-doubling of revenue for the Earth observation satellite company. 

Last month, Northland analyst Michael Latimore raised his price target on SATL while maintaining an 'Outperform' rating, calling the results "outstanding" and lifting his estimates for the company’s fiscal 2026 and 2027 revenue. He pointed to new space systems deals, the start of revenue recognition for its next-generation satellite constellation, Merlin, and expanded AI applications as drivers of strong fiscal 2027 growth. He also noted that the additional data strengthens Satellogic's relationship with Palantir, with whom it holds a five-year strategic partnership.

All three stocks have handily outperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq over the past year.

What Retail Traders Think About NOK, LUNR, And SATL

Retail traders on Stocktwits have grown decisively more bullish on all three names, with sentiment meters climbing from 'bearish' levels a year ago. 

Message volume for Nokia has surged more than 60% over the past three months, while volumes for LUNR and SATL have more than doubled over the past year, a sign of deepening retail conviction amid a broader catalyst of AI-driven disruption that continues to reshape the market.
