Deutsche Post XETR:DHL on Tuesday raised its 2026 earnings outlook, after its operating profit beat expectations in the second quarter driven by growing demand and cost-cutting measures.
The company said it expects earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the year to surpass €6.5 billion ($7.4 billion). It had previously anticipated the figure to exceed €6.2 billion.
Quarterly EBIT reached €1.85 billion, above the €1.54 billion expected by analysts according to a company-provided consensus.
"Compared with the prior year quarter, which had been impacted by customs and other trade policy conditions, the Group recorded a return to significant revenue growth," the company said in statement.
