  • DSV: résultats semestriels en hausse mais inférieurs aux prévisions
    L’augmentation du bénéfice d’exploitation réalisé par le groupe de transport et logistique danois DSV au premier semestre de l’année a été inférieure aux 3% avancés. Cette prestation quelque peu décevante est attribuée à deux des quatre divisions du groupe, à savoir Air & Sea et Logistics.
  • AP Møller est parvenu à masquer la faiblesse du shipping

De plus, les résultats englobent pour la première fois ceux des compagnies affiliées, alors que n’étaient prises en considération précédemment que les dividendes de filiales comme Mærsk Inc USA, Mærsk Air et Mærsk Logistics. Conséquence: un bénéfice net en hausse de 2 milliards de couronnes danoises à 9 mia. de DKK (1,20 mia. d’USD), contre 7,4 mia. de DKK en juin 2001, ce qui s’est traduit par une hausse de respectivement 17% et 18% des actions des deux compagnies cotées à la bourse de Copenhague.
