Nokia

(HLSE: NOK1V)

Finland

Finland's Nokia is far and away the world's biggest maker of mobile handsets, registering sales last year of nearly $44 billion and dominating almost every region except the U.S. Thanks to economies of scale, it's also the world's most profitable, with return on equity of almost 30%. Despite stiff competition from Samsung and other Asia upstarts, analysts are confident that Nokia can continue its dominance with new products for business and new handsets that are effectively handheld computers. The biggest question mark is whether new CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo can fill the shoes of his legendary predecessor Jorma Ollila. Here's already showing an interest in big deals: On June 19, Nokia and Siemens announced that they will merge their telecommunications network equipment businesses in a deal valued at approximately $30 billion.
