    STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish telecom equipment maker Ericsson reported on Friday a rise in fourth-quarter revenue and adjusted operating profit as its mainstay North American market returned to growth.

    Net sales rose 1% to 72.9 billion crowns ($6.66 billion), beating estimates of 72.5 billion. In North America, sales were up 54%.

    "We see further signs that the overall RAN (Radio Access Network) market is now stabilizing, with strong growth in North America supporting a return to Networks sales growth in Q4," CEO Borje Ekholm said in a statement.

    Sales in Asia decreased by double digits, mainly in India, where demand fell following a rapid growth in 2023.

    Operating profit excluding restructuring costs and impairments stood at 9.8 billion crowns compared with a year-earlier 7.4 billion. The mean EBIT forecast in an LSEG poll of analysts was 10.3 billion.

    Ericsson proposed a dividend of 2.85 crowns per share for 2024, up from 2.70 crowns for 2023.

    ($1 = 10.9536 Swedish crowns)

    (This story has been corrected to fix to profit of 9.8 billion crowns, not 10.2 billion; year-ago comparison of 7.4 billion, not 8.2 billion, in paragraph 5)
