Deutsche Post Exceeds Q2 Expectations and Revises 2026 Earnings Forecast

Deutsche Post AG has released preliminary results for Q2 2026, reporting significant financial gains and adjustments to its projected earnings for the full year. The company witnessed a robust increase in group revenue, surpassing 10% year-over-year growth, driven mainly by the strong performance of the DHL Express division. Group earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached EUR 1,850 million, marking a 29% increase from the prior year.

The DHL Express division reported an EBIT of approximately EUR 1,195 million, benefiting from favorable conditions in the air freight market. Meanwhile, DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Supply Chain also showed positive results, with EBIT figures of around EUR 240 million and EUR 305 million, respectively. However, DHL eCommerce and Post & Parcel Germany experienced slight EBIT reductions compared to the previous year.

Based on these outcomes, Deutsche Post has raised its full-year 2026 EBIT guidance to exceed EUR 6.5 billion. This adjustment reflects the company’s strengthened position and its strategic measures resulting in reduced costs. The comprehensive Q2 2026 report is anticipated on August 5, 2026.
