A Maersk, Danish shipping group, made a net profit of $4,459 million (about 3,967 million) between January and September, plus 52% over the same period of 2025, the company reported today.
According to the Danish group, revenues amounted to USD 46,822 million (about EUR 41,656 million), an annual increase of 15%.
Net operating result (EBIT) increased by 53%, reaching 5,180 million dollars (about 4,609 million euros).
In the third quarter, Maersk made a net profit of USD 3,047 million (about EUR 2,711 million), an increase of 178% over the same period as the previous year.
Between July and September, revenues amounted to USD 18,095 million (about EUR 16,099 million), an increase of 27% compared to the same period.
EBIT stood at $3,269 million (about 2,908 million), plus 155% compared to 2025.
Maersk justified these results by increasing freight rates and volumes in the maritime segment as well as by continuing growth in logistics and services divisions.
The Danish group has updated the annual forecasts, and now expects an underlying EBIT of between US$8,000 and 8,500 million (between about EUR 7.117 and 7,562 million), compared to a forecast of between US$ 4,500 and 6,500 million (between about EUR 4,003 and 5,783 million) in August.
Cited in a statement, the company’s CEO, Vincent Clerc, stressed that global trade remained resilient in the third quarter despite geopolitical uncertainties and supply disruptions.
“The demand is being driven not only by consumption, but increasingly by large investments in electrification, energy and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure (IA), which generated significant industrial load flows worldwide,” the CEO said.
