Continued Strategic Investment in Core LNG Capacity Enhances ZIM's Commercial Agility and Supports Long-Term Growth Strategy Vessels are Expected to be Delivered in 2027-2028 HAIFA, Israel , April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM) announced today new agreements for the long-term charter of ten 11,500 TEU liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel container vessels, with total charter hire consideration of approximately $2.3 billion to serve across ZIM's various global trades.

A comprehensive overhaul of U.S. trade policy, including the introduction of broad tariffs on most of the world, is roiling markets on Thursday. Among the hardest-hit sectors are transportation companies, including Union Pacific (UNP -4.01%), Forward Air (FWRD -21.36%), and Zim Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM -14.32%), all losing ground.

With ZIM shares moving south, we assess whether the time is right to add the stock to one's portfolio.

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM) closed at $15.47 in the latest trading session, marking a +1.78% move from the prior day.

ZIM's sideways trading since May 2024 has been a boon indeed, with it triggering rich TTM dividend yields of 21.18% thanks to FY2024 variable dividend payouts of $7.98 per share. Thanks to the still elevated spot rates and contracted rates, the container company is likely to deliver another year of rich return profile in FY2025. This is significantly aided by the management's promising guidance, 40% of its capacity being LNG powered, and the potentially prolonged Red Sea conflict.

I believe the recent news related to the Red Sea conflict keeps geopolitical risks high, which could support steady freight rates this year. I believe ZIM Integrated's current share price already reflects lower freight rates, as management's soft 2025 outlook included a significant decline in these rates. I see some potential in upcoming charter renewals in 2025 and 2026, allowing the Company to lower costs or optimize its fleet structure, adjusting to current demand.

ZIM Integrated Shipping faces significant geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges in 2025. Management has cautioned about turbulent times ahead, with single-digit volume growth and a potential decline in operating performance. The upcoming $3.17 dividend payout may be the last significant one for a while, with expected volatility next week, if you still decide to stay.

HAIFA, Israel , March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM) ("ZIM" or the "Company"), a global container liner shipping company, hereby updates that in connection with the dividend distribution expected to take place April 3, 2025, as previously announced by the Company on March 12, 2025 (the "Dividend"), the previously obtained tax ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority ("ITA") on tax withholding procedures relating to the payment of the Dividend to the Company's shareholders (the "Ruling"), will apply.

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services' dividend return and strong 2024 profits make it appealing for passive income investors, despite recent sea freight rate volatility. The company's 2024 GAAP profits exceeded estimates, driven by positive shipping market trends, with a promising 2025 outlook supported by robust global economic growth. ZIM trades at a significant discount to book value, offering potential capital upside and a leading 22% estimated dividend yield, enhancing its investment appeal.
