European Stocks Rise for Sixth Day on ING, SocGen Profit

European stocks rose for a sixth day, their longest winning streak this year, as companies from ING Groep NV to Societe Generale SA posted profit that beat estimates, and a report showed Chinese exports surged.

ING and Societe Generale each gained more than 3.5 percent. Norsk Hydro ASA added 3.6 percent after reporting quarterly sales that exceeded estimates. Telenor ASA dropped the most since May 2012 after the Norwegian telecommunications operator reported earnings that trailed analysts’ predictions.
