A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S posted stronger-than-expected second-quarter operating profit, raised its 2026 earnings guidance for the second time this year and saw its shares climb more than 8% shortly after the opening bell. The Danish shipping group lifted full-year underlying EBITDA guidance to $10.5 billion-$12.5 billion from $8 billion-$10 billion, saying stronger earnings, significant volume growth across its businesses and better visibility for the rest of the year supported the higher outlook even as conflict in the Middle East and congestion across multiple geographies continue to shape market conditions.
