Executive summary
Q3 earnings rebounded sharply YoY as stronger freight rates and efficiency gains outweighed Middle East disruption costs and port congestion.
FY2026 earnings guidance was raised again on November 11, to EBITDA of USD 4.6–5.0bn and EBIT of USD 2.0–2.4bn.
Financial highlights
Q3 revenue was USD 6.883bn (+26% YoY), EBITDA USD 1.726bn (+99%), EBIT USD 1.085bn (+376%) and group profit USD 999m (+482%).
9M revenue rose 10% YoY to USD 17.641bn; EBITDA increased 9% to USD 3.048bn and EBIT 22% to USD 1.104bn, while group profit fell 13% to USD 827m.
Q3 basic/diluted EPS was USD 5.63 versus USD 0.96 YoY; 9M EPS was USD 4.62 versus USD 5.31.
9M operating cash flow was USD 2.6bn and free cash flow USD 2.5bn; temporary working-capital buildup weighed on cash conversion.
Outlook and guidance
FY2026 EBITDA guidance rose from USD 3.9–4.4bn to USD 4.6–5.0bn; EBIT guidance increased from USD 1.25–1.75bn to USD 2.0–2.4bn.
Higher freight rates and energy-related surcharges are expected to mitigate cost headwinds; Terminal throughput is expected to grow strongly while Liner volume growth remains constrained.
Earnings remain exposed to freight-rate volatility, geopolitical risks, congestion and weather disruption.
A gradual Suez return is expected to approach 100% by end-Q1 2027, potentially freeing slightly more than 10 ships for redeployment.
