International stocks trading in New York were mixed on Thursday. The BNY Mellon index of American depositary receipts rose 0.7% to 143.28. The European index increased 1.3% to 140.75, the Asian index improved 0.15% to 143.48, the Latin American index fell 1.9% to 258.25 and the emerging markets index declined 0.85% to 278.82. Among the companies with shares that actively traded were Nokia Corp. (NOK, NOK1V.HE) and Unilever PLC (UL, ULVR.LN).

Nokia gave a more bullish full-year financial outlook after swinging to a profit for the third quarter, providing evidence that the Finnish telecom-equipment supplier's main network unit has moved well beyond several years of painful restructuring. The former handset giant reported revenue growth of 13%, as the company deployed high-speed mobile networks in North America and China. Shares rose 5.9% to $8.40.

Unilever warned of a tough global outlook and struck a gloomy tone after the Anglo-Dutch consumer-products giant reported its slowest quarterly sales growth in five years, raising fears of a continued broad economic slowdown across emerging markets. Unilever makes nearly 60% of its sales in emerging economies such as India, Indonesia and Brazil--a higher exposure than U.S. rival Procter & Gamble Co. Unilever shares fell 2.5% to $37.20.

Credit Suisse Group AG (CS, CSGN.VX) said its third-quarter profit more than doubled as the Swiss bank continued streamlining its wealth management business and posted a sharp increase in debt-trading revenues. Earnings and revenue topped analysts' expectations. The bank cautioned, however, that the start of the current quarter has been "mixed" due to increased market volatility. Shares fell 1% to $25.76.

Cemex SAB (CX, CEMEX.MX) posted a narrower third-quarter loss on modest improvement in sales and operating profit. Sales growth in the U.S. and Mexico offset weakness in Northern Europe and parts of Latin America. However the Mexico-based cement maker's results disappointed analysts. Chief Executive Fernando Gonzalez said in a conference call that the U.S., and to a lesser extent Mexico, are expected to be the main drivers for earnings growth. Shares rose 2.8% to $11.91.

Logitech International SA's (LOGI, LOGN.EB) turnaround won't be derailed by a slowdown in the tablet market, the peripherals maker's chief executive said, even though the company has hitched much of its revival to mobile computing devices. On Wednesday, Logitech, based in Newark, Calif., and Lausanne, Switzerland, said its profit more than doubled during its second quarter, even though sales of tablet accessories, like detachable keyboards, fell 19% in the period amid a slowdown in tablet sales. Shares rose 4.8% to $13.41.
