Dividend pearl in difficult times: Why Post shares are attractive despite weak business figures
According to a report from www.boerse-am-sonntag.de, Deutsche Post is an attractive investment due to its low share prices and high dividend yield. However, negative developments due to the global economic downturn have led to a decline in the logistics group's sales and profits. The stock has almost halved since its peak in summer 2021. The current second quarter results have further dampened investor sentiment.
The prospects for global logistics companies like Deutsche Post are currently poor. Demand is falling due to higher energy prices and inflation-related wage increases, while the Ukraine war, political tensions between the West and China and the Hamas attack on Israel are hampering the global economic recovery.
Despite these circumstances, Bernstein Research analysts and Kepler Cheuvreux analysts expect the company to recover in the medium to long term. E-commerce and global trade are expected to further drive demand for logistics services. CEO Tobias Meyer also predicts good Christmas business in parcel-heavy stores. Kepler Cheuvreux also considers the Post shares to be cheaply valued compared to the competition.
Despite the current downturn, Deutsche Post is still making a high profit. Even at the lower end of this year's profit forecast, the company is expected to achieve an annual profit of over six billion euros. The company is aiming for profits of over eight billion euros again by 2025.
The distribution of a dividend of 1.85 euros per share for 2022 shows that Deutsche Post's dividend is relatively safe. The dividend yield is currently 4.9 percent. Long-term investors could view this as a selling point.
In summary, it can be said that Deutsche Post offers attractive long-term prospects despite the current weak phase. The current price reflects the downturn and the stock is moderately valued.
