HHLA Lowers Earnings Forecast for the 2026 Financial Year

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has revised its EBIT forecast for the 2026 financial year, now expecting an operating result between €115 million and €135 million, down from €150 million to €170 million. The Port Logistics subgroup's EBIT forecast has also been lowered to €100 million to €120 million, influenced by strike-related disruptions, ongoing automation efforts, and a non-cash impairment loss of approximately €12 million. Furthermore, HHLA anticipates a significant year-on-year decline in container throughput, contrasting with previous expectations of a slight decline.
