Deutsche Post AG has undergone a corporate restructuring to rebrand its parent company as DHL AG. This transition, approved by a 99.95 percent shareholder vote, moves the Deutsche Post AG name to a subsidiary level responsible for domestic German mail and parcel services. The change aims to align the legal structure with international revenue streams and the globally recognized DHL brand.

Following the rebranding, the company reported increases in revenue and earnings. In late September 2026, DHL AG executed a share buyback program, acquiring 86,856 shares across several trading venues including Xetra and CBOE Europe.
