Stora Enso as an investment

The decision to list the forests is welcome, but the timeline for such a project is terribly long. This has already been planned for half a year, and now an additional year and a half is being allocated, making a total of two years to list existing assets, for which balance sheet values should already be available, which do not need to be sold to anyone (meaning no 12-month sales process), and the top management’s will is already clear – so, as I understand it, a very clear process. How can another 18 months be wasted on this? This is a waste of shareholder value; just when momentum, media coverage, and a boost to the stock price were gained, this certainly undermines faith in the company’s ability to innovate and generate added value for its owners. I would expect management to take responsibility and expedite this matter.
