Maersk Raises Full-Year Guidance Amid Significant Market Uncertainty and Air Cargo Challenges
AP Møller-Maersk has increased its full-year financial guidance following better-than-expected Q1 results, yet CEO Vincent Clerc expressed significant uncertainty for the market's second half. The company's Ocean division continues to struggle with overcapacity and declining rates, impacting overall profitability. Maersk's own-controlled air cargo network remains loss-making, though the company is optimistic about its new US air freight hub. The wide range in the new guidance reflects the difficulty in forecasting demand and the volatile geopolitical and market conditions.
