$ERIC Organic Growth Up 6%. Buyback Launched. SoftBank Signed.While everyone is arguing about Nvidia and chasing AI darlings, a 150 year old Swedish telecoms giant is quietly executing, winning contracts, launching a SEK 15 billion buyback, and printing a textbook weekly demand zone that price has not yet reached. 👀
That is the opportunity. The patient traders win this one. 📊
The fundamentals are solid and getting stronger. 💪
Q1 2026 delivered 6% organic sales growth across every single segment despite a brutal SEK 7.8 billion currency headwind that dragged reported sales down 10%. 📉
Strip out the currency noise and the business is growing. Gross margin held firm at 48.1% with the Networks segment posting an impressive 50.4%. ⚡ Free cash flow before M&A came in at SEK 5.9 billion. Net cash on the balance sheet stands at SEK 68.1 billion. 💰
Cloud Software and Services gross margin expanded over 300 basis points year over year to 43.2%. 🚀
The newsflow is accelerating in the background. 🧠 Ericsson signed a multi year framework agreement with SoftBank in Japan to deploy next generation core network solutions and accelerate 5G rollout.
The company demonstrated a live proof of concept of ISAC Integrated Sensing and Communication for drone detection using massive MIMO at its Texas headquarters, opening defence and public safety revenue streams that did not exist two years ago. 🛸
A strategic partnership with NTT DATA was signed to scale private 5G and physical AI for enterprises globally. 🤖 The board approved a SEK 15 billion share buyback programme that commenced on 23 April 2026 and is actively running. ♻️
The 52 week range sits between $6.64 and $15.99. 📊 Citi raised its price target on Ericsson in May 2026 to SEK 110. Next earnings are due in July 2026. 📅 Dividend yield sits at 1.75%. 💵
Now here is the key point. 🎯 Price has NOT yet reached the entry zone. ⏳ This is a trade that requires patience. The weekly demand zone sits at $10.40, currently below where price is trading. The plan is simple wait for price to come to the level, not chase it. 🧘
The setup only triggers if and when price pulls back into the zone. That is when the trade becomes live. 📉
🟢 Buy Zone ~ $10.40 area (0.618 Fibonacci Weekly)
⚠️ Price has not yet reached this zone. Wait for price to pull back to the level before entering.
💰 Entry: $10.40
🛑 Stop: $9.81 (5.673% below entry)
🎯 Target: $15.99 (53.8% upside from entry)
📈 Risk/Reward Ratio: 9.47
📅 Next Earnings: July 2026
♻️ Buyback: SEK 15 billion actively running
💵 Dividend Yield: 1.75%
🌍 52 Week Range: $6.64 to $15.99
Nobody is watching. ⚠️ The buyback is running. 🔄 SoftBank is signed.
When price comes to the zone, the trade is on. 🚀

ERIC Ericsson Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought the dip on ERIC:
Now analyzing the options chain of ERIC Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 12usd strike price Calls with

If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Ethereum Soars After Eric Trump’s StatementEthereum ( CRYPTOCAP:ETH ) saw a dramatic price swing after Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, made an unexpected bullish statement on X. His simple yet powerful remark, “In my opinion, it’s a great time to add CRYPTOCAP:ETH ,” ignited a surge in Ethereum’s price, sending it from $2,750 to $2,920 in under an hour. However, the rally was short-lived as ETH quickly retraced to $2,700, leaving traders wondering: Is this the start of a bigger move, or just a fleeting reaction?
Political Influence on Ethereum
Eric Trump’s statement came at a critical time, as the crypto market was already experiencing heightened volatility due to geopolitical and economic concerns. A major factor contributing to market uncertainty was Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, which sent shockwaves through financial markets**.
Additionally, just before Eric Trump’s post, World Liberty Financial, a crypto project linked to the Trump family, addressed concerns over large fund movements to a Coinbase Prime address. They clarified that the transactions were merely internal treasury reallocations, not token sell-offs.
With institutional adoption of Ethereum growing, and Ethereum’s role in DeFi, NFTs, and Layer-2 scaling solutions expanding, many investors see dips as an opportunity rather than a sign of weakness.
Technical Outlook
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,830, down 1.83% on the day. Despite this pullback, technical indicators suggest a potential bullish setup:
Ethereum is approaching oversold levels, indicating a buying opportunity for traders looking to enter at a discount. The current price action is forming a bullish flag pattern, with a support level at $2,666 (1-month low). If this support holds, CRYPTOCAP:ETH could be primed for a breakout.
A decisive break above $3,700, which aligns with Ethereum’s 1-month high, would confirm a trend reversal and potentially trigger a rally toward $4,000+.
What’s Next for Ethereum?
While Eric Trump’s statement briefly pumped ETH’s price, Ethereum’s long-term trajectory will depend on broader market sentiment, macro events, and its ability to break key resistance levels. If the bullish flag pattern plays out and Ethereum reclaims $3,700, we could see an extended uptrend in the coming weeks.

ERIC 5G METAVERSEERIC is gapped up this morning, got filled yesterday during the downturn at a ridiculously low bid, & was up well before market close. As you can see the daily chart is what's used, it was easy to see the turning point on volume looking for swing trade type positions. ERIC is expected to give earnings today & is expected be positive. ERIC has huge upside potential as a Metaverse 5G play. Its low price and huge infrastructure make it perfect to capture the developing metaverse market. Ericsson may not be a "leading" metaverse brand like Facebook, but it's going to grow in the background as it provides the actual bandwidth for the metaverse. This is called the picks & shovels method. Watch this space for MACRO & supply chain plays.

NOK: Signs of Life? 1st Target $4.5NOK is showing signs of life, with good buy volumes. Cheapness aside and 5G growth, my view is NOK is a prime target for all the SPAC money out there to take it out. It's a real business with real cash flow. And at a ridiculously cheap valuation, mainly because we are in a market, fashionable stocks take in most of the money flow.
$4.5 could be easily achieved, then consolidate and target $5, 6, and $7 gradually as it does have a large float, not so easy to move.
NOKIA is BACKComparing the percentage overlay of their new 5G competitor ERIC with the playing field even with Huawei out the picture, if NOKIA were to breakout to same the magnitude with 5G sponsporship I am actively targeting $5.60-$6 price level for this quarter. $10 EOY.
We are here at a critical price level here of $4.30 viewing how price action has reacted here in the past

I think NOK has a shot at reversing its downward trend real soon especially if the USA takes an ownership in the company like many White House officials have been talking about possibly doing to stop China.
Long!
