Shipping Stocks To Watch Now – January 15th

Viking, Frontline, and ZIM Integrated Shipping Services are the three Shipping stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Shipping stocks are shares of companies whose primary business is maritime transport — for example container lines, dry-bulk and tanker operators, vehicle carriers, and related ports or shipowners. These equities are highly cyclical and sensitive to global trade volumes, freight rates (e.g., the Baltic Dry Index), chartering markets, fuel costs and regulation, which can make them volatile but attractive to investors who time the shipping cycle. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
