Nokia Oyj's stock experienced a remarkable surge of 5.05% on Wednesday's pre-market session, following the company's announcement of a share buyback program aimed at offsetting the dilutive effect of new shares issued to Infinera Corporation shareholders and certain Infinera share-based incentives.
