DSV, boosted by healthy growth in its air and sea divisions, saw a surprise rise in Q2 operating profit. Counting more shipments and revenues in all its business areas, the operator saw air freight grow by 2-3%, while it also took a 10% growth in market share. The forwarder revised its full-year outlook upwards to between Dkr2.85bn ($419m) and Dkr3bn. Compare and contrast with Kuehne + Nagel, which saw its Q2 operating revenue fall 5.6%.
