DHL Parent Deutsche Post Expects Earnings Growth Despite Uncertain Conditions

By Dominic Chopping

DHL parent Deutsche Post expects earnings to rise this year, despite anticipating continued uncertainty in the global economic environment.

The German logistics company--also known as DHL Group--said it expects to report operating profit of at least 6.2 billion euros ($7.21 billion) this year, up from the 6.1 billion euros it reported for 2025.

"There is still significant geopolitical volatility and uncertainty out there, as we have already seen in the first two months of the year," said Chief Executive Tobias Meyer.

"Our forecast does not assume any improvement in the global economic environment."

The group made a net profit of 1.06 billion euros in the fourth quarter compared with 1.1 billion euros in the same period a year earlier.

Revenue fell 2.7% to 22.09 billion euros, while operating profit slipped 1.3% to 1.83 billion euros.

A company-compiled consensus had forecast revenue of 22.36 billion euros, operating profit of 1.83 billion euros and net profit of 1.09 billion euros.

The company raised its dividend to 1.90 euros a share from 1.85 euros.
