CFRA raises DSV stock rating to buy, hikes target to DKK1,750

On Monday, CFRA analyst Jeff Wong upgraded DSV A/S (DSV:DC) (OTC:DSDVF) stock rating from Hold to Buy and increased the price target to DKK 1,750 from the previous DKK 1,430. The upgrade reflects a positive outlook following the completion of the Schenker acquisition, which CFRA anticipates will enhance earnings despite potential short-term margin pressure due to integration and restructuring costs.

Wong adjusted the 12-month target price for DSV based on a 2026 price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24.0 times, aligning with the company’s five-year average forward P/E of 24.8 times. The analyst also revised the earnings per share (EPS) forecasts upward to DKK 55.49 from DKK 54.90 for 2025 and to DKK 72.77 from DKK 58.21 for 2026.

DSV’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for 2025 is forecasted to reach DKK 21.0 billion, which is at the higher end of the company’s updated guidance range of DKK 19.5 to 21.5 billion. This updated guidance shows a significant increase from the previously stated range of DKK 15.5 to 17.5 billion.

CFRA’s analysis indicates that there is potential for long-term financial benefits as the company is expected to gradually achieve synergies, with an annualized target of DKK 9.0 billion by 2028. Despite the possibility of short-term disruptions due to tariffs and trade uncertainties, CFRA believes that DSV’s scale and integrated network will provide resilience, helping to mitigate any adverse effects and maintain steady earnings.
