I am currently considering parting with $DHL (-0.87%) and instead $UNP (+2.75%) instead. I still have a 35-40 year investment horizon and am convinced that logistics will continue to be needed. My investment case for DHL was primarily the global positioning and distribution (see also Formula 1 sponsorship), but the persistently poor figures give me pause for thought. These are much better at Union Pacific, but they are only focused on the USA, which would increase my exposure there even more.
What do you think? What would you choose or do you know other companies in this sector that you think are better?
