DSV Sells Gothenburg Logistics Asset Again, Share Price Remains Sluggish
DSV has once again sold a core logistics asset in Gothenburg, Sweden, for SEK 514 million. Specifically, DSV has sold a logistics asset in Gothenburg to Swedish Logistics Properties (SLP) for SEK 514 million. The transaction involves a logistics facility with a total area of nearly 35,000 square meters, located on a site with a total land area of approximately 133,500 square meters. SLP said that under the transaction, DSV will become a tenant after selling the property, with annual rent of about SEK 39 million. Filip Persson, CEO of SLP, noted that Gothenburg is one of Sweden’s most important logistics hubs, and the site’s “huge expansion potential” fits perfectly with the company’s long-term business model. He said, “Through this transaction, we are strengthening our cooperation with DSV and reinforcing our business in Gothenburg, one of Sweden’s most important logistics centers.”

In fact, according to follow-up reports by Shipping World, this is a typical “sale-and-leaseback” model. Previously, DSV also sold several logistics parks to SLP, all using this “sale-and-leaseback” model, i.e., the so-called “asset-light operating” strategy.
In particular, DSV’s share price fell sharply after it was the first to report its Q2 2026 results. Although executives, including DSV’s co-founder, current CEO, and CFO, successively bought shares with their own cash to shore up the stock against the downturn, DSV’s share price remained sluggish. Data showed that as of the close on September 15, DSV’s share price had fallen further to DKK 1,255 per share, with no rebound.
