Kuehne und Nagel International AG
Kuehne + Nagel is a global logistics company. It moves goods for other businesses by arranging ocean freight, air freight, road transport, and customs handling. It also stores products in warehouses and manages parts of customers’ supply chains, such as order processing and distribution. Its main customers are manufacturers, retailers, and other companies that need to move physical goods across countries and continents. Kuehne + Nagel does not usually own all the ships, planes, or trucks in its network; instead, it earns money by organizing shipments, booking transport space, managing warehouse operations, and charging fees for logistics services. What makes its business model different is that it sits in the middle of global trade. Customers use it to simplify complex shipping and storage tasks, especially when goods cross multiple borders and require careful coordination. That makes the company a practical service provider for businesses that want one partner to handle transport, documentation, and supply chain control.

EBIT beat: Q1 recurring EBIT came in at CHF 308 million, above guidance, helped by cost cuts that were running ahead of plan.
Guidance raised: Kuehne + Nagel lifted the bottom of its 2026 recurring EBIT guidance to CHF 1.25 billion from CHF 1.2 billion; the top end stays at CHF 1.4 billion.
Middle East impact: Management said the Middle East crisis did not hit Q1 EBIT, and they do not expect a major direct earnings hit in Q2 beyond volume pressure in sea freight.
Cost program: The restructuring program is progressing faster than planned, with management still targeting at least CHF 200 million of annualized gross savings by year-end 2026.
Mix and pricing: Sea and air yields were stable to slightly better, while air benefited from a better cargo mix and more capacity returning after the Middle East disruption.
Cash and working capital: Free cash flow was CHF 194 million, but working capital intensity rose above the company’s guidance corridor to 6%.
