A.P. Møller – Mærsk has raised its financial guidance for the full year 2026, citing continued strong container market demand, especially in the Far East, and a recent sustained increase in spot market rates. The company now expects underlying EBITDA of USD 8 to 10 billion, up from a previous range of USD 4.5 to 7.0 billion, and underlying EBIT of USD 2 to 4 billion, compared with an earlier forecast of negative USD 1.5 billion to positive USD 1.0 billion. Free cash flow is now seen at least negative USD 1.5 billion, an improvement from the prior expectation of at least negative USD 3 billion. The upgraded outlook is based on a global container market volume growth projection of about 4 percent for the full year, revised from a previous estimate of 2 to 4 percent. The company will publish its full second-quarter interim results on 13 August 2026.
