Jefferies flags freight pressure

Jefferies analyst Michael Aspinall said September airfreight rates were 4.00 percent below the prior-year level and had fallen below their January level. The same assessment identified rising fuel prices as a risk for the wider economy, while retaining the EUR 59.00 target and Hold rating.

UBS took a more constructive step on September 27, 2026. aktiencheck.de reported that UBS raised its target from EUR 54.50 to EUR 59.50 while keeping a Neutral rating. That target is EUR 2.80 above the Lang & Schwarz price.

Q2 profit growth supports outlook

DHL Group reported Q2 2026 revenue of EUR 22.367 billion, up 12.80 percent from EUR 19.826 billion in Q2 2025, according to its investor-relations figures. EBIT rose 30.00 percent to EUR 1.858 billion from EUR 1.429 billion, while net income increased 23.90 percent to EUR 1.010 billion from EUR 815 million. DHL Group also reported H1 2026 revenue of EUR 42.787 billion, up 5.30 percent from EUR 40.634 billion in H1 2025.

The combination of stronger quarterly EBIT and cautious freight-market commentary creates a clear split in the current investment case. Operating momentum is visible in the Q2 margin of 8.30 percent, but the latest analyst targets remain close to the market price rather than signaling a broad revaluation.
