| TORONTO, June 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Unifor Members at DHL Express Canada have ratified a new four-year agreement by 72%, officially ending a lockout and strike lasting nearly three weeks in locations across the country.Unifor Members at DHL Express Canada have ratified a new four-year agreement by 72%, officially ending a lockout and strike lasting nearly three weeks in locations across the country. (CNW Group/Unifor) "I am so proud of all the members of the national bargaining committee for standing strong and fighting for the respect they deserved," said Unifor National President Lana Payne. "This is a historic dispute in our union's books because we were the test case for the new anti-scab legislation and our union and members stood tall, held strong, and the end result is we got a fair collective agreement." DHL workers will return to work after the ratification, however, there is no definite timeline. The union thanks the public for its patience as our members resolve the backlog of packages and deliveries. The new contract features a 15.75% increase in wages throughout the life of the contract, a new payment structure for owner-operators, pension increases for hourly workers and a new pension for owner-operators. In addition, there are increases to short and long-term disability payments, new mental health benefit, increases to severance, wage adjustments and much-desired language around AI, robotics and automatic, and improved work-from-home language. Unifor members at DHL Express Canada were locked out after midnight on June 8 and subsequently went on strike hours later. This dispute underscored the importance of federal anti-scab legislation, hard fought for by Unifor, which came into effect during this dispute. It marked a historic moment for Unifor as this dispute became the first test case under the new law, with our members standing firm to ensure companies were not above it. "This was a critical moment for the labour movement across Canada. The determination of our members in Quebec and across the country has sent a clear message: the anti-scab law must be respected, and workers will no longer tolerate being sidelined," said Unifor Quebec Director Daniel Cloutier. Unifor represents over 2,100 DHL Express Canada workers who as truck drivers, couriers, warehouse and clerical workers across Canada, at Locals 114 in British Columbia, 700 in Quebec, 755 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 4005 in Nova Scotia, 4457 in Ontario and members in DHL Alberta.

The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.

| 25.06.25 09:11:37 | FedEx shares fall as trade turbulence hits demand, profit forecast | |
| By Rashika Singh and Utkarsh Shetti (Reuters) -FedEx shares fell as much as 5.8% on Wednesday after the parcel delivery giant forecast first-quarter profit below Wall Street estimates and withheld its outlook for the year, citing uncertainty around U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policy. The lack of fiscal 2026 guidance "will be seen as a negative surprise," Morgan Stanley analysts said in a client note. The company did not provide a full-year forecast for the first time in 13 years, excluding the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, J.P. Morgan analysts said. The Memphis company also set its current quarter profit target below Wall Street estimates, fueling worries it will be difficult for FedEx to grow earnings per share in its fiscal year ended May 2026, financial analysts said. Shares in FedEx rival United Parcel Service and German peer DHL dropped as much as 2% during the trading session. FedEx's decision to forego annual guidance rattled investors beyond the transport sector since FedEx customers range from retailers to factory owners. Economic data is pointing to slowing growth as global trade uncertainty makes business owners unwilling to invest in the future. FedEx's inability to deliver an outlook for the year "may result in some consternation in the markets beyond just the fortunes of FedEx itself," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. "FedEx is like the economy's Fitbit. Express shows business demand, Ground tracks e-commerce, and Freight reflects industrial strength. Right now, all three are looking sluggish," said Michael Ashley Schulman, partner at Running Point Capital Advisors, referring to FedEx business units. FedEx executives expect continued strain on China-U.S. air transport as a result of Trump tariff policies. The firm has a bigger exposure to China than rival UPS. The Trump administration in April imposed a tariff rate of 145% on China, before reducing that to 30% a month later. The Trump administration ending duty-free status for direct-to-consumer shipments — valued at less than $800 — from China-linked bargain sellers like Temu and Shein is the biggest hit to FedEx's China air business, FedEx Chief Customer Officer Brie Carere said. FedEx, UPS and DHL each depended on those volumes to offset lackluster demand from other industries.

| 24.06.25 16:45:05 | DHL Group Sponsored ADR (DHLGY) is an Incredible Growth Stock: 3 Reasons Why | |
| Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock. That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss. High Yield Savings Offers Earn 4.10% APY** on balances of $5,000 or more View Offer Earn up to 4.00% APY with Savings Pods View Offer Earn up to 3.80% APY¹ & up to $300 Cash Bonus with Direct Deposit View Offer Powered by Money.com - Yahoo may earn commission from the links above. However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects. Our proprietary system currently recommends DHL Group Sponsored ADR (DHLGY) as one such stock. This company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank. Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And returns are even better for stocks that possess the combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy). While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this company is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below: Earnings Growth Arguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration. While the historical EPS growth rate for DHL Group Sponsored ADR is 0.3%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 14.6% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 5.9%. Impressive Asset Utilization Ratio Growth investors often overlook asset utilization ratio, also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio, but it is an important feature of a real growth stock. This metric exhibits how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales. Right now, DHL Group Sponsored ADR has an S/TA ratio of 1.23, which means that the company gets $1.23 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.85, it can be said that the company is more efficient. In addition to efficiency in generating sales, sales growth plays an important role. And DHL Group Sponsored ADR is well positioned from a sales growth perspective too. The company's sales are expected to grow 4.1% this year versus the industry average of 0%. Story Continues Promising Earnings Estimate Revisions Superiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for DHL Group Sponsored ADR. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.1% over the past month. Bottom Line DHL Group Sponsored ADR has not only earned a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. This combination positions DHL Group Sponsored ADR well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

| 23.06.25 10:00:00 | European Road Freight Transport Market Report 2025, with Profiles of Road Freight Transport Providers CEVA Logistics, Dachser, DHL, DSV, Fedex, Geodis | |
| Company Logo Explore the latest insights in the European Road Freight Transport 2025 report. Despite stagnant growth in 2024, a 1.1% increase is projected for 2025, with a medium-term CAGR of 2%. The market navigates labor shortages, rising energy costs, and tech challenges. Dublin, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "European Road Freight Transport 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The EU Road freight sector is navigating a complex landscape characterized by fluctuating demand, economic pressures, technological advancements, and sustainability challenges. Recent changes to US global trading policies and the continued war in Ukraine are further burdens. The European Road Freight Transport 2025 report looks at the key themes shaping its current and future trajectory. Key Takeaways: European Road Freight growth stagnant in 2024 - 0% market growth Tentative signs of recovery - Projects the market will grow by 1.1% in real terms in 2025 The medium-term outlook for European road freight is stronger, with an expected real terms 2024-2029 CAGR of 2% Operating margins of the top 5 players held up in 2024 despite the flat market, with a benchmark margin of 4.5% The past year has seen significant consolidation at the top of the road freight market, led by the acquisition of DB Schenker by DSV, but the market remains highly fragmented and competitive. Risks to European road freight remain as labour shortages persist, with 426,000 unfilled driver positions in 2024 (IRU), and regulatory demands increase. AI is becoming increasingly widely used within the road freight market, the report contains 16 case studies of live applications. Freight Volumes The road freight sector has witnessed declining freight volumes due to stagnant GDP growth across Europe, competition from Asia, changes in U.S. tariffs. However, in 2025 volumes are expected to expand by 1.1%. Over the medium-term, volumes are expected to grow by a 2024-2029 CAGR of 2%. Market Dynamics Shippers face significant cost pressures driven by rising energy costs, competition from Asian markets leading to intense competition in tenders for carriers. However, in the first half of 2025 cost pressures have eased, largely due to declines in diesel prices which are down to levels not seen since 2021. Although recent developments in the Middle East could lead to rapid fuel price increases through the second half of 2025. Capacity remains constrained by driver shortages but with demand subdued the effect on road freight pricing has been reduced. The research expects relatively stable road freight rates in 2025, unless conflict in the Middle East should raise diesel prices substantially. Story Continues Technology Technology has great potential to improve efficiency and productivity in the road freight sector however adoption remains limited, especially among small and medium sized enterprises struggling with low returns and insufficient resources. However there is still significant technological development taking place, with mapping out the digital landscape in 2025 in the new report with company profiles and a new market map. This new report also shows the extent to which AI is being used in the market, highlighting 16 case studies of applications of AI by innovative companies operating in or serving the road freight market. Driver Shortages Driver shortage remains a pressing issue, with data from the IRU showing that there were still 426,000 unfilled driver positions in 2024, with efforts to attract a more diverse workforce limited. The industry is also facing broader talent gaps in areas such as tech literacy, change management and data analysis combined with logistics expertise. The EU Road freight sector faces a mix of challenges and opportunities. Addressing these requires collaboration across the supply chain, innovative solutions, investment in talent development, and a readiness to embrace change. The relatively small market share of even the biggest players, means this fragmented market needs technology pull, so smaller players can feel the benefits and choose to adopt, as few players have the scale to drive the change alone.

| 23.06.25 02:15:00 | DHL's E-Commerce Trends Report 2025: AI and social media reshaping online shopping in Asia Pacific | |
| Lack of delivery options is the number one conversion killer: 77% of shoppers in Asia Pacific abandon their carts when preferred delivery options are missing A shift in sustainability: almost half of shoppers in Asia Pacific had also abandoned their carts due to sustainability concerns Social commerce takes center stage: By 2030, 85% of consumers in Asia Pacific are expected to shop primarily through social media — bypassing traditional retail websites AI becomes essential: 81% of shoppers in Asia Pacific want AI-driven shopping tools — from virtual try-ons to voice search — to guide their decisions SINGAPORE, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DHL eCommerce has released its E-Commerce Trends Report 2025, drawing on insights from 24, 000 online shoppers across 24 key markets worldwide. For the Asia Pacific region, results show that delivery remains a significant barrier to purchase completion, with 77% of Asia Pacific shoppers abandoning their carts when their preferred delivery options are unavailable. Social commerce continues to rise in popularity, with 85% of the region's consumers expected to shop primarily through social media by 2030, bypassing traditional retail sites. Meanwhile, AI-driven shopping tools are in high demand, as 81% of shoppers seek features such as virtual try-ons and voice search to assist their purchasing decisions. This year's study comprises eight chapters, featuring six shopper types across four generational segments, and highlights how evolving consumer expectations are reshaping the future of online retail. While the report addresses an extensive range of topics from cross-border purchasing to shoppers' views on sale days like Black Friday, four key findings stand out: the transformative impact of AI and social commerce on online shopping, the crucial role of delivery options in converting carts, and sustainability shaping customer loyalty. "Asia Pacific has always been at the forefront of e-commerce due to its growing population of young, digital natives. The region's online shoppers know what they like, and it's important to recognize those changing behaviors that could make a significant difference to maintaining customer loyalty. As more of us shop online, we want a smooth experience. This is the entire journey from browsing to deciding if the item suits, to knowing that we have delivery options before making a convenient yet secure payment. Large and small business owners can rely on DHL eCommerce's insights and expertise to curate an experience that meets the needs of their customers," said Pablo Ciano, CEO of DHL eCommerce. Story Continues Shopping powered by AI: Smarter Journeys, Higher Expectations Advancements in generative AI are ushering in the next industrial revolution. But how will AI impact online shopping? DHL's latest e-commerce trend report reveals that AI is one of the most highly anticipated and demanded innovations among consumers, with 81% of shoppers in Asia Pacific wanting retailers to offer AI-powered shopping features. Virtual try-ons, AI-powered shopping assistants, and voice-enabled product search top the list of features consumers actively want to use. Shopping via voice commands is already on the rise, where about one in two (47%) of shoppers in the region make hands-free purchases. As digital expectations rise, so does the demand for intuitive, tech-enabled shopping journeys that blend utility with delight. Social Commerce Becomes the New E-Commerce The traditional e-commerce website is increasingly being replaced, or bypassed, by social platforms. Consumers are turning to apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook not just for discovery, but for purchase. In Asia Pacific, 85% of shoppers say they have already made a purchase via social media. This is expected to stay with more than eight out of 10 (85%) expect these platforms to become their primary shopping destination by 2030. The power of influence also plays a critical role: 87% of shoppers in Asia Pacific say viral trends and social buzz influence their buying decisions. TikTok, in particular, is driving change in markets such as Thailand and Malaysia, where 86% and 81% of online shoppers, respectively, report buying through the app. This shift signals a major transformation in the methods brands need to engage with their audiences, and calls for seamless, mobile-native experiences built for in-app conversion. Delivery and Returns: The Ultimate Conversion Drivers While new technologies continue to transform the digital shopping experience, the fundamentals of delivery and returns remain the biggest drivers of cart abandonment. Shoppers are not willing to compromise when it comes to convenience, flexibility, and control. 77% of consumers in the region will abandon their purchase if their preferred delivery option is not available. Just as critically, 75% will leave if the return process does not match their expectations. Trust also plays a major role, with 65% of shoppers in Asia Pacific reporting that they will not buy from a retailer if they do not trust the returns provider. These expectations emphasize the importance of transparent, customer-centric logistics strategies — not just as an operational concern, but as a core part of the conversion funnel. Sustainability and the Circular Economy: From Buzzword to Bottom-Line Impact Sustainability has evolved from a brand differentiator into a core consumer demand. In Asia Pacific, 79% of shoppers now consider sustainability when making online purchases. A significantly high consensus comes from India, where 92% find sustainability important when making an online purchase. This goes beyond packaging or shipping — one in two (49%) shoppers have abandoned their carts due to sustainability concerns. Consumers in Asia Pacific are also embracing more circular models of consumption, with 52% opting for pre-owned or refurbished goods, motivated by both environmental values and cost efficiency. Additionally, 72% of shoppers in Asia Pacific express a willingness to participate in recycling or buy-back programs offered by retailers, with 85% of survey respondents from China indicating that they would do so. These behaviors point to a growing expectation that brands will not only reduce their footprint but also actively empower consumers to shop more sustainably. As we look towards 2030, these insights provide a clear roadmap for retailers aiming to capture the attention of today's diverse shopper demographics. By embracing technology, prioritizing sustainability, and understanding the evolving preferences of consumers, businesses can transform challenges into opportunities.
