    July 23 (Reuters) - Swiss logistics group Kuehne und Nagel KNIN.S lifted its operating profit guidance for 2026 on Thursday, citing strong business performance in air logistics and its efficiency measures.
The freight forwarder, which operates in more than 100 countries, forecast recurring earnings before interest and taxes of 1.35 billion to 1.55 billion Swiss francs ($1.66 billion to $1.91 billion) for the full year, up from the 1.25 billion to 1.40 billion franc range it had last raised in April.
Analysts were expecting a median operating profit of 1.41 billion francs for 2026, a company-provided poll showed. Last year, the recurring EBIT was 1.24 billion francs.
