ReutersStora Enso profit more than halves on weak demand, high costs
"Demand for most of our products is weak or weakening and market uncertainties are persisting," Chief Executive Annica Bresky said in a statement, adding the company's January-March results were "very disappointing." Last week Stora Enso cut its full-year guidance, saying soaring costs would result in operational profit falling by more than half for 2023, compared to 1.89 billion euros ($2.09 billion) reported for 2022. Falling global demand for pulp and container boards and weaker-than-expected recovery in China has hit the Nordic forestry sector, leading Finnish rival Metsa Board to cut its full-year guidance earlier in April.

ReutersForestry group Stora Enso sees challenging year ahead
HELSINKI (Reuters) -Stora Enso on Tuesday said higher costs would be likely to squeeze its margins in 2023 after the Finnish forestry group produced its strongest annual results in more than 20 years, although profit declined in the fourth quarter. "Stora Enso enters the new year with market softness and variable cost pressures which are expected to be more challenging in 2023 than in 2022 weighing on our results this year," the company said in a statement. The company booked some 185 million euros in losses last year from the sale of its Russian operations, which it announced in April and in May. The Russian the exit also reduced its fourth-quarter profitability by 20 million euros compared with a year ago.

European Stocks Edge Higher; German Manufacturing PMI Weakens Sharply
European stock markets edged higher Friday, ending the week on a positive note despite the European Central Bank’s larger-than-expected interest rate as well as disappointing survey growth data. The ECB raised interest rates by 50 basis points from zero percent on Thursday, its first hike in 11 years, ending a policy of negative interest rates that had been in place since 2014. The hike was more than the 25 basis points increase that ECB President Christine Lagarde guided towards at the central bank’s June meeting, suggesting that the policymakers have become very concerned about inflation, with Eurozone CPI now at a record annual 8.6%, even at the expense of growth in the region.
