ZIM's first-quarter 2025 revenues benefit from an increase in freight rates and carried volume.

ZIM Integrated Shipping delivered a strong Q1 2025, beating earnings and revenue estimates, driven by higher carried volumes and robust freight rates. Temporary 90-day tariff suspension fuels a short-term shipping rush, likely ensuring 2-3 strong quarters for ZIM and supporting its attractive ~15% dividend yield.

ZIM delivered strong Q1 results, with revenue up 30% and EPS at $2.45, driving a positive market reaction and guidance reiteration.

The company declared a $0.74 dividend (15% yield), but future payouts remain uncertain due to cyclical industry risks and macro headwinds.
