Shipping Stocks To Consider – January 12th

Viking, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, Frontline, Scorpio Tankers, and Almonty Industries are the five Shipping stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. “Shipping stocks” are shares of companies whose businesses center on maritime transport and related services — for example owners and operators of container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, ports and ship-management firms. Their performance is highly cyclical and driven by factors such as global trade volumes and freight rates, charter market dynamics, fuel costs, fleet supply, and regulation, which can make them volatile compared with more diversified sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
