DHL Group (ISIN DE0005552004) was trading at EUR 56.74 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 11:49 a.m. CEST, up 1.27 percent from the prior close of EUR 56.03. The latest analyst signal came on October 5, 2026, when FinanzNachrichten reported that Bernstein Research kept its Market-Perform rating and EUR 47.00 price target.
Second-quarter revenue rises 12.81 percent
DHL Group reported revenue of EUR 22.37 billion for the second quarter of 2026, compared with EUR 19.83 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was 12.81 percent, calculated from the reported figures.
The company also reported operating profit of EUR 1.86 billion for the second quarter of 2026, up 30.09 percent from EUR 1.43 billion in the same quarter of 2025. Net income reached EUR 1.01 billion, compared with EUR 815.00 million one year earlier.
EUR 47.00 target trails price by 17.17 percent
Bernstein Research linked its October 5, 2026 assessment to demand in European logistics and said DHL Express could benefit from that environment. The EUR 47.00 target places the target 17.17 percent below the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 56.74, using the same euro currency.
The assessment also highlights a counter-factor: high energy prices remain a pressure point for the logistics sector. For DHL, the combination of stronger Express demand and cost sensitivity makes the next quarterly figures particularly important.

DHL stock remains within its Lang & Schwarz 52-week range of EUR 38.37 to EUR 58.90 as of October 6, 2026. The EUR 56.74 price sits 3.67 percent below the yearly high, while market capitalization stood at EUR 63.6 billion on the same date.
The next quarterly report is expected on November 5, 2026, according to finanzen.net. That date gives investors a defined checkpoint for testing whether the second-quarter growth rate continues.
