** Shares in Stora Enso STERV.HE rise 4% after the Finnish forestry group reported Q3 EBIT above forecasts

** The company's Q3 adjusted operating profit falls to 126 million euros ($146.94 million), but beats analysts' 107.5 million euro average estimate

** Inderes notes that Stora Enso managed to avoid the worst of the pricing pressures, as the price component remained very stable in the quarter

** "We see Q4 consensus moving higher, but still struggle to see how full-year 2026 EBIT consensus of 770 million euros can be achieved," JPM analysts say

** Stora Enso shares are on track for their best day in two months

($1 = 0.8575 euros)
