Jefferies weighs freight and fuel

Jefferies analyst Michael Aspinall based the assessment on September transport trends, with airfreight rates 4.00 percent below the prior-year level in September. The analyst also pointed to rising fuel prices as a risk for the broader economy, while the EUR 59.00 target lies 4.68 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price.

The target leaves a narrow gap between the latest euro quote and Jefferies' valuation, but the Hold rating signals that the analyst sees the freight and fuel backdrop as an important counterweight to DHL's operating progress.
