European stocks climbed, rebounding from the lowest level in more than two weeks, as companies from European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. to Bouygues SA reported results that beat analysts’ estimates.

EADS rallied to a record as the parent company of Airbus also forecast profit will rise in 2013. Bouygues surged the most in 18 months as the French builder predicted profitability at its phone division will increase. Kabel Deutschland Holding AG fell 3.7 percent after Vodafone Group Plc was said to have put on hold potential takeover plans.
