April 24 (Reuters) - Swiss logistics group Kuehne und Nagel KNIN.S slightly lifted the bottom end of its operating profit guidance on Friday, citing continued cost discipline and a strong start to the year in air, road and contract logistics.

The freight forwarder, which operates in more than 100 countries, forecast recurring earnings before interest and taxes in a range of 1.25 billion to 1.40 billion Swiss francs ($1.59 billion to $1.78 billion) for 2026, up from the previously guided 1.2 billion to 1.4 billion francs. In 2025, its EBIT was 1.24 billion francs.

($1 = 0.7869 Swiss francs)
