CMA CGM Third-Quarter Net Profit Reached $2.32 Billion: Revenue Up 31.1% to $18.4 Billion, Container Volumes Up 5.5% to 6.5 Million TEU
MARSEILLE, France. Shipping group CMA CGM reported its third-quarter 2026 results on November 13. Group revenue rose 31.1% to $18.4 billion, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) jumped 61.6% to $4.78 billion with the margin improving to 25.9% from 21% a year earlier, and net income attributable to the group climbed to $2.32 billion from $760 million in the third quarter of 2025.
Container shipping drove the performance. The group carried 6.5 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) during the quarter, up 5.5% year over year, outpacing the broader market and following 6% growth in the second quarter. Shipping revenue surged 37.3% to $12.3 billion, supported by a 30% increase in average revenue per container to $1,891 per TEU, and the division generated EBITDA of $4.0 billion at a margin of 32.4%, up 7.5 percentage points.
The logistics business reported revenue of $5.46 billion, up 19.2% from a year earlier, while its EBITDA fell 14.4% to $366 million and its margin narrowed to 6.7%. The group said favourable demand trends and freight rates were expected to persist over the coming months, though tensions in the Middle East and uncertainty over global trade relations continued to cloud the outlook. The company did not provide financial guidance.
In an uncertain geopolitical environment, the Group has delivered a strong performance in the third quarter, driven by the momentum and the increasing volumes of our maritime activities, said Rodolphe Saadé, chairman and CEO of CMA CGM, in the earnings announcement. Reporting on the results attributed volume growth in part to corporate restocking and to capital spending on super intelligence (SI) infrastructure and data centres.
Reuters also reported that CMA CGM could face an additional tax under France's 2027 budget plans.
Headquartered in Marseille, CMA CGM is one of the world's largest container shipping groups, with additional operations in logistics, terminals, and air cargo.
