** Shares in Danish wind turbines maker Vestas VWS.CO rise around 3% to their highest since June 2024 after ending 2025 with a strong order intake
** J.P.Morgan says that Q4 orders are set to beat consensus on strength in large orders
** "Q4 will mark the second straight quarter where demand surprised on the upside, and reinforces our view that fundamentals for the wind industry are improving," it says
** Sydbank analyst Jacob Pedersen highlights in his note that the robust fourth-quarter order intake of around 5,476 megawatts sets a foundation for future growth
** He notes the US order intake appears particularly uplifting, especially as competitor GE Vernova GEV.N faces sluggish domestic demand and has lowered its earnings targets
** Shares of Vestas, one of best STOXX .STOXX performers on Friday, are set to extend their three-day winning streak
