Bulls say / Bears say
Q2 EBIT rose by DKK 291m to DKK 454m, with both Ferry and Logistics improving. DFDS raised its 2026 EBIT outlook to DKK 1.2–1.4bn, signalling that the turnaround is gaining traction. (Nasdaq Copenhagen)
Adjusted free cash flow reached DKK 728m in Q2, while net debt to EBITDA fell to 3.4 times from 4.2 times a year earlier. Better cash generation and lower leverage give DFDS more financial room to manage its network and investment needs. (Nasdaq Copenhagen)
DFDS completed its DKK 165m purchase of ferry assets on the Algeciras–Tangier Med route, adding a vessel and operating permits to its existing Gibraltar network. The expanded route gives it more capacity in a market the company describes as growing. (GlobeNewswire)
Passenger numbers fell 10.5% over the 12 months to September; even after adjusting for route changes, they were down 6.4%. Continued weakness in passenger demand could weigh on ferry utilisation and earnings. (GlobeNewswire)
Freight volumes were flat year on year in September, while the 12-month total fell 0.5% after adjusting for route changes. Weakness in several corridors points to limited underlying freight growth across the network. (GlobeNewswire)
Management says DFDS’ financial performance remains far below where it should be and has launched a strategy review to reset its priorities and financial ambitions. Until that review is completed, investors have less clarity on the long-term plan and how quickly returns can improve. (Nasdaq Copenhagen)
