KHNGY Depositary Receipt Experiences Significant Analyst Downgrade

The consensus valuation target for Kuehne + Nagel International AG’s depositary receipt (OTCPK:KHNGY) has undergone a substantial downward revision, dropping 25.91% to $29.50 per share from the previous $39.82 estimate issued on November 16, 2025. This adjustment reflects a notable shift in analyst sentiment regarding the global logistics firm’s near-term prospects. The current consensus falls significantly below recent trading levels, suggesting analysts believe the receipt is overvalued at current market prices.

Divergent Analyst Perspectives on Receipt Valuation

The consensus target of $29.50 masks considerable disagreement among analysts tracking the receipt. Price predictions range dramatically, from a cautious low of -$20.31 to an ambitious high of $89.58 per share—a spread indicating substantial uncertainty about KHNGY’s future direction. The consensus estimate implies a 48.93% downside from the latest closing price of $57.76, underscoring the bearish tilt among those monitoring this depositary receipt.

Institutional Interest Cools as Holdings Retreat

Fund and institutional ownership of the KHNGY receipt has contracted materially in recent months. The number of institutional holders decreased to 4 entities, representing a sharp 42.86% drop in investor count over the last quarter. Average portfolio weighting across these funds stands at a modest 0.02%—though this metric actually increased 15.88%, a dynamic reflecting the departure of larger stakeholders and concentration among remaining holders. Total institutional share count fell 61.62% to 7,000 shares, indicating a significant pullback in aggregate positioning.
