Infinera stock has exited the public market after Nokia completed its USD 2.3 billion takeover in February 2025. The transaction moved the optical networking company from an independent listed issuer into Nokia's broader infrastructure strategy, as Oninvest reported on September 8, 2026.
USD 2.3 billion changed ownership
The acquisition gave Nokia access to Infinera's optical transport systems and indium phosphide technology, which are used in high-capacity communications networks. Light Reading described the deal as part of Nokia's integration of Infinera into its business since February 2025.
For former Infinera shareholders, the central comparison is structural rather than daily. The company moved from a standalone public market valuation to a USD 2.3 billion strategic transaction, making Nokia the continuing public-market vehicle for the assets.
R&D shows the scale
Infinera's historical research and development bill stood at USD 300 million in 2024, according to Light Reading. That investment highlights why the company was strategically relevant to Nokia despite its later disappearance as a standalone stock.
Staffing also indicates the operating footprint Nokia absorbed. Light Reading reported that Infinera employed more than 3,000 people when Nokia acquired it in February 2025, giving the transaction a workforce dimension alongside the purchase price.
Stock status defines the outlook
Eulerpool lists Infinera as delisted and identifies the former security with ISIN US45667G1031, while Nokia now carries the public-market exposure to the acquired optical assets. The February 2025 takeover date and the USD 2.3 billion consideration are the key reference points for understanding Infinera stock in September 2026.
