Kühne + Nagel International AG — Cyborg Score 6/10
Solid
Integrated Freight & Logistics
Strategic Profile
Founded in 1890 in Bremen, Germany, Kühne + Nagel is primarily controlled by Klaus-Michael Kühne through his Kühne Holding and Kühne Foundation. The company maintains a diversified logistics portfolio with strong positioning in global freight forwarding and supply chain management, though it faces margin pressures from competitive shipping rates.
Cyborg Score Rationale
With a market cap of $29B and TTM revenue of $29.7B, Kühne + Nagel maintains substantial scale as a global logistics leader. However, intensified yield pressure has dented profitability with 2025 guidance cut and cost savings announced, signaling operational headwinds.
Top Insights
2024 revenue increased 4% to $24.8B, but earnings declined 17.47% to $1.18B, reflecting profitability challenges despite topline growth.
Analyst sentiment is neutral with 4 buy recommendations and 4 sell recommendations.
The company offers comprehensive logistics services including container load, reefer, project logistics, air charter, and road logistics across full truck load, less than truck load, and groupage services.
Kühne + Nagel employs 79,742 people globally and was founded in 1890, making it one of the most established players in the logistics sector.
