On July 28,, French shipping giant CMA CGM announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2023. The bad news for the world's third-largest ocean carrier: Profits continue to fall. The good news: the company's quarterly net income is still more than $1 billion, net income and revenue per case are still well above pre-new crown epidemic levels, and with additional revenue from the boom, the company still has a huge cash cushion.
Looking ahead, Dafei Shipping expects the transportation and logistics sector to continue to deteriorate in the second half of 2023. Persistent inflation, the response of central banks and geopolitical uncertainty will lead to a slowdown in global economic growth. In this uncertain demand environment, the input of new capacity may put pressure on freight rates, especially on east-west routes.
companies will carefully control operating costs in response to the inflationary environment. In addition, Dafei Shipping will continue to integrate its recent acquisitions and continue to develop its two-wheel drive strategy in the maritime and logistics businesses. "
Overall, the second half of 2023 will be difficult for the transport and logistics industry, but Dafei Shipping is confident that its strategic advantages and financial strength will make it through this phase.
