Stora Enso to spin off Swedish forest holdings into listed Bergslagets Skogar, report says

Stora Enso will spin off its Swedish forest holdings into a new listed company, Bergslagets Skogar, in the spring, Affarsvarlden reported on 18 September 2026. The magazine says the move could pave the way for a further upward revaluation of Swedish forestry groups' forest assets after several weak years on the stock market. No transaction structure or exact date has been reported.
