The stock's recent jump was also attributed to the company's Q1 2025 earnings report, which showed revenue rising to $2.01 billion, beating FactSet estimates of $1.84 billion. Additionally, ZIM signed $2.3 billion in long-term charter agreements and announced a quarterly dividend [1].
The consensus EPS estimate for ZIM's upcoming report has been revised 33.3% higher over the last 30 days to $1.50 per share, which usually translates into price appreciation. The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) [1].
ZIM's performance is also linked to the U.S.-China trade deal, as transportation and shipping companies' shares rose on the U.S., China tariff pause. The pause, extended by President Donald Trump, allows for further negotiations between the two countries [3].
Flex LNG (FLNG), another shipping company in the same industry, closed the last trading session 0.6% lower at $25.26. Over the past month, FLNG has returned 10.7%. However, its consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has changed -9.3% over the past month to $0.45, with a year-over-year change of -19.6%. FLNG currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell) [1].
