NORDIC STOCKS - Factors to watch on July 6

HELSINKI, July 6 (Reuters) - The following stocks may be affected by newspaper reports and other factors on Monday:

VESTAS (VWS.CO)

The financial crisis has hit Danish wind turbine maker Vestas which announced 71 percent lower orders in the first half of 2009 than in the same period last year, daily Jyllands Posten said. The company usually announces to the bourse only orders worth at least 500 million Danish crowns ($94.14 million), so smaller orders can be missing from the calculation, but it nonetheless reported 81 percent of all orders in 2008, the paper said.

NORDEA (NDA.ST)(NDA.CO), DANSKE BANK DANSKE, JYSKE BANK (JYSK.CO)

Banks in Denmark are struggling with private equity funds to see who will foot the bill for crisis-hit private equity firms' inability to meet loan covenants, daily Berlingske Tidende said. However, Nordea's chief in Denmark, Peter Schutze, said losses from loans to private equity funds are not higher than losses on loans to other firms. "The really big test is to see which operations are capable of adjusting to the new economic reality with sharply lower sales," Schutze told the newspaper.

STATOILHYDRO (STL.OL), CHESAPEAKE ENERGY CORP (CHK.N)

The Norwegian oil and gas group is optimistic about the potential of the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania after four drilling rounds, business daily Dagens Naeringsliv reported.

StatoilHydro bought 32.5 percent of the shale in November last year from Chesapeake Energy Corp. Chesapeake has recently said it may be the world's largest gas field.

But analysts said the project is not profitable for StatoilHydro at current gas prices, according to the paper.
