DHL Group is down 4% in Frankfurt, following the publication by the mail and logistics group of EPS down 20% to 1.27 euros for the first six months of 2024, and operating profit (EBIT) also down 20%, to 2.66 billion.

At almost 40.9 billion euros, revenues remained stable (-0.3%) over the first half of the year, but rose by 2.7% to over 20.6 billion in the second quarter alone, "despite the persistently weak economic environment".

Expecting "the typical positive effects of the high season" in the second half of the year, DHL confidently confirms that it is targeting an operating profit of between six and 6.6 billion euros for 2024, and between 7.5 and 8.5 billion for 2026.
