Pirelli shares surged year‑to‑date, prompting Citi to shift its rating from buy to neutral and raise the target price to €7.50 from €7.40. The bank cites strong defensive traits and a dependable margin and free‑cash‑flow outlook that are unusual among EU auto suppliers. If the broader EU supplier outlook weakens, the company’s profile could trigger a re‑rating.

J&T Global Express posted a 24% rise in total parcel volume, with Southeast Asia up 63% and China up 11%. Citi maintained a buy rating and a HK$15 target, opening a 90‑day upside view as the firm’s market share expands through new regional investors. Shares ticked 0.7% to HK$9.54.

DHL Group’s guidance uptick follows a second‑quarter EBIT that beat consensus by 20%. Analysts view the increase as a cautious stance, noting that air‑freight capacity is expected to normalize and conflict‑related tailwinds may fade. Shares finished 1.7% higher at €56.68.

Together, these moves signal a tightening of valuation discipline in the auto and transport sector envelopes. Investors will likely trim exposure to high‑priced stocks while seeking opportunities in firms with resilient earnings and clear guidance.
