Shipping Stocks To Add to Your Watchlist – January 31st

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 publicly traded companies that own, operate, or manage merchant vessels and provide seaborne freight services (for example container, dry‑bulk and tanker operators). Their revenues and share prices are closely tied to global trade volumes and freight/charter rates — influenced by ship supply, fuel costs, the Baltic Dry Index, and geopolitical or macroeconomic events — making them cyclical and often more volatile than the broader market. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
