Fort Worth, Texas, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) and DSV mark the start of autonomous freight operations in Texas, with the first commercial truckload hauled using the Volvo VNL Autonomous, and with the ambition to expand to additional lanes over time.
Designed from the ground up for autonomous driving and integrated with the Aurora Driver, the Volvo VNL Autonomous is built for deployment in long-haul freight operations. The collaboration builds on the long-standing relationship between Volvo and DSV, grounded in safety, performance and progress toward transforming logistics. With DSV as the market-leading logistics provider, the collaboration also shows how autonomous transport can be integrated into complex, large-scale logistics networks to strengthen efficiency, asset utilization and supply chain resilience.
V.A.S. is launching autonomous transport services for DSV between Aurora’s terminals in Dallas and Houston, integrating them into DSV’s existing logistics flows. During the initial phase, a safety driver will be present in the vehicle, in line with Volvo’s current operational mode. Through the collaboration, DSV and V.A.S. aim to strengthen day-to-day performance while building operational experience that supports expansion to additional routes.
“Autonomous driving is moving towards real-world operations,” said Helmut Schweighofer, CEO, DSV Road. “Our collaboration with Volvo in Texas represents a production, depot-to-depot setup. We see clear opportunities to improve safety and driver comfort, help mitigate a growing driver shortage, and unlock better asset utilization through 24/7 operations for the benefit of our customers.”
“Logistics providers like DSV are an important customer group for Volvo Autonomous Solutions, and DSV is at the forefront of how autonomous transport can be applied in real logistics networks,” says Sasko Cuklev, Head of On-Road Solutions at V.A.S. “Starting between Dallas and Houston, we plan to move freight together in a way that supports round-the-clock operations and creates a scalable foundation for adding more lanes over time.”
Autona/freight: A complete autonomous transport ecosystem
As part of the collaboration, Volvo Autonomous Solutions will deploy its Autona/freight solution for DSV. Autona/freight is Volvo’s end to end autonomous transport setup, combining the Volvo VNL Autonomous with self-driving technology from partners Aurora and Waabi, as well as the systems and services needed to operate and manage autonomous freight at scale.
Story Continues
With more than one million miles logged in regional and local freight since 2023, V.A.S. brings significant operational experience that supports reliable scaling with logistics providers like DSV.

- DSV, 1169 - DSV ANNOUNCES UPDATED STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND NEW FINANCIAL TARGETS FOR 2030 AT ITS CAPITAL MARKETS DAY
May 12, 2026
DSV A/S
This announcement contains publication of inside information pursuant to Article 17 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
Company Announcement No. 1169 Today, at the Capital Markets Day for investors and analysts held at the company’s headquarters in Hedehusene, Denmark, DSV will present its updated strategic priorities “Leverage to Lead” and new financial targets for 2030.
Strategic priorities DSV’s strategic priorities “Leverage to Lead” will support the company’s positioning as the global leader in the industry delivering continued sustainable, profitable growth. The strategic priorities will enable DSV to improve productivity from artificial intelligence and technology and to further optimise its network and operations after completion of the integration of Schenker.
In addition, the company expects to grow through ongoing M&A transactions combined with above-market organic growth, leveraging its global network, service offerings and strong vertical position.
Jens H. Lund, Group CEO: “Thestrategic priorities in Leverage to Lead marks the next key milestone in the 50-year history of DSV. By transforming the business with AI and technology, enhancing our strong leadership and culture, expanding the relationships with our customers and focusing on operational excellence, we aim for continued sustainable growth and industry-leading performance.”
Financial targets In alignment with the company’s strategic priorities and operational initiatives, the financial targets for DSV’s three divisions are as follows:
Conversion ratio ROIC before tax Air & Sea >55.0% >20.0% Road >35.0% >20.0% Contract Logistics >35.0% >15.0%
The targets for the DSV Group are based on the divisional targets and the current business mix, resulting in the following targets:
Conversion ratio ROIC before tax Group ~45.0% ~20.0%
The new financial targets are based on unchanged synergies from the integration of Schenker of around DKK 9 billion with full financial impact from 2027. In addition, productivity improvements from AI and technology combined with the optimisation of network and operations are expected to improve productivity across divisions and Group functions by around DKK 9 billion by 2030.
The company maintains its capital allocation policy targeting a financial gearing ratio of a net interest-bearing debt including leasing liabilities of below 2.0x EBITDA before special items. The allocation priorities for free cash flow remain unchanged: deleveraging at times the financial gearing exceeds the target ratio, then pursuing value-creating investments in the form of M&A or organic growth opportunities and distributing capital to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends.
Story Continues
DSV re-confirms the financial guidance for the full-year 2026 as stated in the Interim Financial Q1 2026 report on 29 April 2026 of an EBIT before special items of between DKK 23 - 25.5 billion.
The event will be streamed live, and the presentation materials will be made available on https://investor.dsv.com/. A recording will be available after the event.

Release Date: April 29, 2026
For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
Positive Points
DSV AS (DSDVF) has successfully continued the integration of Schenker, maintaining and even increasing customer volume and footprint. The company reported a significant increase in gross profit, up by almost 80%, indicating strong financial performance despite market challenges. DSV AS (DSDVF) is on track to achieve a higher EPS than the previous year, which is a positive indicator for investors. The company has reduced its white-collar workforce by 7,000 employees, which is expected to contribute to future cost savings and efficiency. DSV AS (DSDVF) has managed to repay a significant amount of debt, reducing net interest-earning debt by around DKK700 million since the beginning of the year.
Negative Points
The geopolitical situation in the Middle East has had a moderate negative impact on DSV AS (DSDVF)'s financial performance. There is a time lag in realizing synergies from the Schenker integration, with full benefits expected only by 2027. The company's operating margins and conversion ratios are currently lower due to the ongoing integration process. DSV AS (DSDVF) faces challenges in passing through increased fuel costs to customers, particularly due to regional price variations. The Road segment has experienced service issues due to integration and weather conditions, which may continue into the next quarter.
Q & A Highlights
Q: In Q1, the Air & Sea cost base was higher than expected. Are there one-offs in your Q1 cost base, and how should it evolve from here? A: Jens Lund, Group CEO: The conversion ratio is impacted by the Schenker integration, which had a lower conversion ratio. Holiday accruals also affect costs, with Q4 having a lower cost base due to IFRS accounting. We reduced headcount by nearly 1,000 FTEs in Q1 and expect a similar reduction in Q2. The conversion rate should improve as synergies kick in, typically taking three to six months post-integration.
Story Continues
Q: Can you provide confidence that Q2 will show material progress in cost control and EPS growth? A: Jens Lund, Group CEO: We monitor headcount reduction and productivity metrics closely. The focus is on driving up shipments per person per day and aligning the operation size with volume production. We are committed to achieving the right cost structure and delivering EPS and cash flow improvements.
Q: Could you quantify the financial impact of the Middle East conflict and its potential impact on Q2? A: Jens Lund, Group CEO: The Middle East conflict has led to lower volumes and increased fuel prices, impacting our results. We expect to pass on fuel surcharges to customers, though there may be a lag. Operations are stabilizing, and we hope for geopolitical stability. The impact should be mitigated by Q2.
Q: Will conversion margins return to normal levels, and can we expect a 40-50% conversion margin in the future? A: Jens Lund, Group CEO: We expect to return to historical efficiency levels. The integration process and headcount reduction are on track, and we anticipate improved conversion ratios from Q2 onwards. Michael Ebbe, CFO, confirms that the business case is being followed closely.
Q: How is the Schenker integration progressing, particularly in improving yields? A: Jens Lund, Group CEO: We have improved yields by focusing on upselling and aligning Schenker's operations with DSV's practices. The integration has already led to higher yields in air and ocean freight. We continue to work on enhancing profitability through operational synergies.

🐂 Bullish Takeaways
Morgan Stanley raised its DSV price target by DKK 300 on 6 February 2026 and later made an additional DKK 60 upward revision in April, which signals confidence in the company’s ability to execute on its plans. Citi lifted its target by DKK 414 in February and separately adjusted its target to DKK 1,782 from DKK 1,764 with a Neutral rating, pointing to room for value if DSV delivers against expectations. JPMorgan’s DKK 40 price target increase in late March adds to the group of banks that see upside potential relative to previous assumptions.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
Deutsche Bank reduced its DSV price target by DKK 184 on 31 March 2026, highlighting concerns around execution risk and what is already reflected in the current valuation. Wolfe Research cut its target by DKK 73 in early April, reinforcing the view that some analysts see less room for upside if growth or margin delivery falls short of expectations.

- DSV, 1168 - INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q1 2026
Apr 29, 2026
DSV A/S
Company Announcement No. 1168
Solid performance under challenging market conditions
The DSV Group reported EBIT before special items of DKK 4,855 million in Q1 2026. Despite increasingly challenging market conditions, earnings remained solid and improved compared to the same period last year, driven mainly by the Schenker acquisition. The Schenker integration continued the strong momentum with more than 50 countries now integrated or undergoing integration. We reiterate the expected synergies in the level of DKK 9 billion with full financial impact in 2027. For 2026, we expect an incremental financial impact of at least DKK 4 billion, in addition to the synergies realised in 2025. The adjusted free cash flow came to DKK 1,517 million for Q1 2026, impacted by seasonality and a temporary increase in net working capital. Reiterating the 2026 full-year guidance for EBIT before special items in the range of DKK 23.0-25.5 billion. Market outlook for the year remains uncertain due to potential macroeconomic risks, including the conflict in the Middle East.
Jens H. Lund, Group CEO: “In the first quarter of 2026, DSV delivered a solid financial performance, reporting EBIT before special items of DKK 4,855 million. The results demonstrate the resilience of our business model despite increasingly challenging market conditions and geopolitical unrest. The conflict in the Middle East has added further pressure to our customers’ global supply chains, particularly in the Air & Sea division. While prioritising the safety of our employees, we remained committed to supporting our customers with flexible solutions to ensure uninterrupted service. At the same time, we have kept up the strong momentum on the integration of Schenker, and we continue our efforts to transform the company through artificial intelligence and technology to reinforce our position as a global industry leader.“
Selected key figures and ratios for the period 1 January – 31 March 2026
Q1 2026 Q1 2025 Key figures (DKKm) Revenue 70,416 41,680 Gross profit 18,903 10,991 Operating profit (EBIT) before special items 4,855 3,860 Special items, costs 1,453 - Profit for the period 1,638 2,812 Adjusted earnings for the period 2,809 2,874 Adjusted free cash flow 1,517 3,165 Ratios Conversion ratio 25.7% 35.1% Diluted adjusted earnings per share of DKK 1 for the last 12 months 50.5 51.9
Performance in Q1 2026 The first quarter was impacted by the escalating Middle East conflict, resulting in significantly more complexity and disruptions to customers’ supply chains, especially within air and sea freight. Under challenging market conditions and volatile freight rates, we leveraged our strong network and local organisations to support our customers and identify alternative solutions to handle cargo flows.
Story Continues
DSV reported gross profit of DKK 18,903 million, an increase of 78.4% compared to the same period last year, while EBIT before special items increased 31.2% to DKK 4,855 million in Q1 2026. The growth was primarily driven by the contribution from Schenker in addition to a strong performance by Contract Logistics.
Air & Sea reported slightly negative growth of 4.9% in EBIT before special items compared to the same period last year. The performance was impacted by lower average gross profit yields for both segments, due to market dynamics and the dilutive effect from Schenker. Headwind from foreign exchange rates also had an adverse effect on the financial results.
Road reported 144.1% growth in EBIT before special items compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by Schenker, partly offset by lower productivity due to tough winter weather and the Schenker integration process in Germany and the Netherlands, which began in January.
Contract Logistics saw growth in EBIT before special items of 180.1% compared to the same period last year. The growth was supported by the inclusion of Schenker in addition to strong commercial performance and higher warehouse utilisation, partly driven by consolidation efforts.
Outlook for 2026 The full-year guidance for 2026 remains unchanged, as detailed below:
EBIT before special items is expected to be in the range of DKK 23,000 - 25,500 million, including synergies from Schenker. Special items related to transaction and integration costs are expected to be around DKK 6,500 million. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at an elevated level around 28.0% in 2026, due to the ongoing integration of Schenker.
The current market uncertainties related to trade tariffs and the geopolitical risks in the Middle East could have unpredictable effects on the global economy and trade environment, which may influence our financial outlook. We continuously monitor activity levels and will adjust capacity and our cost base as necessary to improve productivity.
Synergies and integration costs related to Schenker
In Q1 2026, the integration of Schenker continued the strong momentum, with more than 50 countries either fully integrated or in the process of integration. This includes Germany, which began its integration at the start of the quarter. The integration remains on track for completion by the end of 2026. Annual synergies are still expected to be in the level of DKK 9 billion, with full financial impact in 2027.
We maintain our expectation of incremental financial impact from synergies of at least DKK 4 billion in 2026, in addition to the financial impact of DKK 800 million recognised in 2025. Overall, we maintain our outlook for a total accumulated impact on EBIT before special items of around DKK 5 billion in 2026.
Total transaction and integration costs are still expected in the level of DKK 11 billion and will be charged to the statement of profit and loss under special items during the integration period. For the first quarter of 2026, special items came to DKK 1,453 million with accumulated special items related to the acquisition of approximately DKK 6 billion since announcement of the acquisition.

- A Look At DSV (CPSE:DSV) Valuation As Shares Show Strong Recent Momentum
Apr 29, 2026
Get insights on thousands of stocks from the global community of over 7 million individual investors at Simply Wall St.
With no single headline event steering attention, DSV (CPSE:DSV) is drawing interest on its recent share performance, mixed shorter term moves, and solid, globally diversified logistics footprint across air, sea, road and warehousing services.
See our latest analysis for DSV.
The share price has been firming recently, with an 11.22% 1 month share price return and a 4.09% year to date share price return, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 29.83% points to momentum that has been building over a longer horizon.
If DSV’s recent move has you thinking more broadly about opportunities in logistics, automation and supply chains, this could be a good moment to scan 34 robotics and automation stocks
With the shares trading at DKK 1,665.50 and data pointing to both an intrinsic discount and a gap to analyst targets, the key question is simple: is DSV still undervalued or is the market already pricing in future growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 24.1% Undervalued
According to the most followed narrative, the fair value for DSV sits at DKK 2,194.89, comfortably above the last close of DKK 1,665.50, which frames the current discount argument.
DSV just pulled off the biggest deal in its history: the Schenker acquisition, instantly making it the world's #1 freight forwarder. That is not just a headline; it is a game-changer for pricing power, scale, and cross-selling. On top of that, global supply chains are being reshuffled (nearshoring, China+1), and the big logistics players are the ones capturing that complexity. Add a recovering Air & Sea cycle and you have real momentum: shares are already +40% over the past year.
Read the complete narrative.
The fair value hinges on a specific playbook for revenue expansion, profit growth, and where margins settle. It is worth examining which earnings trajectory and valuation multiple would need to hold for that DKK 2,194.89 outcome to be supported over time.
Result: Fair Value of DKK 2,194.89 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, this upside story can crack if integrating Schenker’s 72,000 employees proves difficult, or if the market rerates DSV closer to sector average P/E levels.
Find out about the key risks to this DSV narrative.
Another View: What The P/E Ratio Is Saying
The user narrative leans on a fair value of DKK 2,194.89 and an undervalued story, but the current P/E of 47.2x tells a very different tale. It sits well above the European logistics peer average of 15.8x and even above a fair ratio of 41.1x. This points to valuation risk if sentiment cools.
Story Continues
That gap can matter in a very practical way. If earnings or expectations soften, share prices sometimes move toward the peer group or the fair ratio. This would mean a lower implied valuation even without any change in the business itself. The key question for you is whether DSV has sufficient earnings power to keep that premium intact.
See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.CPSE:DSV P/E Ratio as at Apr 2026
Next Steps
Given the mix of enthusiasm and caution in this story, it is worth reviewing the underlying numbers yourself and deciding how comfortable you are with the balance of potential upside and risk. To help frame that view, take a close look at the 3 key rewards and 3 important warning signs

- Iran war and AI advances are creating winners and losers among transport stocks
Mar 25, 2026
The ongoing Iran war and AI proliferation have created split fortunes for players in the freight and logistics sector.
The shutdown of Strait of Hormuz — forcing vessel to reroute around Africa's Cape of Good Hope — has been a tailwind for maritime operators like Maersk (AMKBY) and Hapag-Lloyd (HLAG.DE). The longer journey allows the companies to collect higher surcharges for more days at sea.
However, global forwarders like DSV (DSV.CO) and Kuehne + Nagel (KHNGY) are navigating a "logistics nightmare" of vessel bunching and increased fuel consumption, pressuring shares for both firms over the last month. Unlike operators who own the ships and profit from longer voyages, forwarders must manage these logistical headaches while attempting to pass rising costs to cargo owners.

Against this backdrop of geopolitical chaos, Morgan Stanley argues that AI is moving from experimentation to a core operational necessity for the freight and logistics sector. But while the technology is becoming universal, the resulting profits likely won't be.
Recent research from the bank, citing an AlphaWise survey, found that 96% of transportation companies reported productivity gains from AI over the last year.
The theoretical upside is massive. The firm's scenario analysis suggests that a 10% reduction in staff costs via AI could lift EBIT margins by 180 basis points, while a 30% reduction could effectively double average margins for the industry's top players.
Despite these projections, the Street remains skeptical because it has seen this pattern before. In the freight industry, when a company uses new technology to save money, it often uses those savings to lower prices and gain market share.
If AI tools become easily accessible to everyone, the resulting productivity improvements may simply reset the industry cost baseline rather than expand margins, Morgan Stanley's Cedar Ekblom and Ravi Shanker wrote.
"There is a real risk that AI improves price delivery for customers, and in that way, weighs on pricing and compresses gross margins," Bruce Chan, managing director of global transportation and logistics at Stifel, told Yahoo Finance.
To stay ahead, analysts say firms need historical pricing data. This allows a company's AI to move from the realm of basic automation into one in which it makes highly accurate predictions.
"If the value of AI is in the data itself, the largest providers have a significant advantage," Chan explained. "AI really does, I think, exacerbate that competitive differentiation."

This explains the widening gap between industry winners and losers. Morgan Stanley and Chan highlight C.H. Robinson (CHRW) as the primary beneficiary of this shift. The firm's generative AI agents process over 2,000 quotes in minutes and automate more than 10,000 emails per day across the shipment lifecycle.
While the company has been historically viewed as "headcount heavy," Chan notes that under CEO Dave Bozeman, the firm is pairing its massive scale with disciplined cost management. It's using AI to handle logistics and paperwork, allowing them to cut costs and protect margins. In February, Bozeman brushed off AI fears, declaring the firm was a "disruptor ... not the disrupted" to Yahoo Finance.
Similarly, XPO Freight (XPO) has successfully deployed AI to optimize route density, a move that is already reflecting in its margin resilience, per Chan. In the parcel industry, UPS (UPS) and FedEx (FDX) are also cited as early adopters that have successfully deployed AI solutions.
While these firms are well regarded for their technology, he noted investors have yet to see the "real leverage" that AI can have on their business models.
Conversely, Landstar Systems (LSTR) faces a steeper climb because it operates through a dispersed network of independent agents. Chan pointed out that it is significantly harder to "enforce and incentivize" AI adoption across a decentralized workforce, potentially delaying the return on investment.
Meanwhile, Expeditors International (EXPD) is viewed as "at risk" because its main advantage — personalized customer service — is being replaced by automated tools and instant pricing. Without the massive amount of private data that its bigger rivals have, it's becoming an uphill battle to keep profits high.
"We think the impact from AI depends on the business, rather than there being a 'one size fits all impact,'" the Morgan Stanley analysts said.A man walks on rocks along the shore as oil tankers and cargo ships line up in the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Khor Fakkan, United Arab Emirates, Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
