Stora Enso stock was trading at EUR 9.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, while Nordea maintained its Buy rating and a EUR 12.30 price target ahead of the third-quarter report, according to MarketScreener. The target is EUR 2.50 above the Lang & Schwarz price, giving the analyst view a clear valuation reference without making a forecast of the stock's next move.

Packaging recovery is the catalyst

Nordea expects higher packaging-board prices to support earnings and sees recovered packaging volumes as an important growth driver in 2027. The bank also pointed to price increases as a counterweight to higher raw-material and energy costs, while describing the consumer-board market as challenging, according to MarketScreener.

Three target changes set the chronology

On September 15, 2026, SB1 Markets raised its Stora Enso target to EUR 10.60 while keeping a Neutral rating, as reported by Affarsvarlden. On October 2, 2026, DNB Carnegie lifted its target to EUR 12.40, according to Affarsvarlden. Nordea's EUR 12.30 target on October 15, 2026 is the latest step in that sequence.

What does the report date mean?

The next quantified company catalyst is the interim report for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The report is scheduled for October 30, 2026, according to Affarsvarlden. Stora Enso's second-quarter revenue was EUR 2.42 billion and operating profit was EUR 7.00 million for the period ended June 30, 2026, according to the latest structured financial figures.

Reporting calendar stays visible
