** Shares in DHL DHLn.DE fall 4.2% after the German logistics group released 2026 operating profit outlook slightly below consensus, triggering profit‑taking

** The company expects EBIT in 2026 to exceed EUR 6.2 bln ($7.19 billion) vs EUR 6.37 bln in a company provided consensus

** "Management continue to frame the outlook in the context of a muted macro which may prove conservative," Jefferies says

** "Guidance should be as expected, although consensus is already higher, but shares had a good run, so wouldn't be surprised if some profit-taking occurs," a local trader says

** Until today's open, the shares had risen around 11% since Q3 results on Nov. 6

** The stock is on track for worst day since April
