Free cash flow excluding acquisitions and disposals reached EUR 1.776 billion in the first half, up from EUR 1.061 billion a year earlier, giving the analyst debate a cash-generation metric alongside the operating result.

What does the EUR 61.00 target mean?

Jefferies' EUR 61.00 target lies 6.46 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 57.30 on October 15, 2026. The figure sits below the EUR 65.00 target that finanzen.at attributed to JPMorgan in a September 25, 2026 report, showing a spread between bullish and more cautious views.

The sequence moves from a EUR 65.00 bullish target to a EUR 61.00 cautious target in the latest cited note.

What dates come next?

Zonebourse lists November 5, 2026 as the publication date for DHL Group's third-quarter 2026 results. That release will test whether the second-quarter margin and cash-flow improvement continued into the next reporting period.
