** Shares in Volvo VOLVb.ST are seen to rise 2-3% after the Swedish truck maker reported a lower-than-expected fall in its Q4 core profit and raised its outlook for 2026

** Volvo's operating profit falls 9% to 12.77 billion Swedish crowns ($1.45 billion), but beats the 11.49 billion crowns seen by analysts on average

** The group now expects sales of trucks in North America to amount to around 265,000, against 250,000 expected earlier, despite flagging continuous low demand in the market

** But J.P Morgan and Jefferies say they expect no big changes to consensus numbers following the print

($1 = 8.8028 Swedish crowns)
