The U.S. and China agreed to reduce tariffs on each other's goods for 90 days, boosting global equity markets and easing trade tensions. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will drop from 145% to 30%, while China will cut tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%. The tariff reductions are expected to lower input costs, alleviate supply chain pressures, and enhance cross-border commerce in key industries.

ZIM (ZIM) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.

I find ZIM's dividend appealing, but I'm concerned it heavily depends on freight rates staying artificially high due to Red Sea disruptions. I foresee no meaningful drop in freight rates until a permanent Israel-Hamas ceasefire materializes. In the meantime, I expect current shipping routes to be mainly disrupted. I estimate a potential 25% freight rate drop after the conflict comes to an end, which would pressure ZIM's cash flows (and therefore its high dividend).

In the latest trading session, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM) closed at $13.60, marking a +1.04% move from the previous day.

With ZIM stock gaining recently, we assess the investment worthiness of ZIM at current levels.

ZIM finished 2024 on a high note, concluding a very strong year for the container shipping company. Shareholders were rewarded handsomely through dividends and price appreciation. The 2025 guidance implies a much cooler year and reflects the high uncertainty regarding the Red Sea reopening and geopolitics. Reciprocal tariffs can quickly get out of control and result in a global trade war. ZIM Integrated Shipping is highly exposed to the Pacific trade.

In the most recent trading session, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM) closed at $14.47, indicating a +0.91% shift from the previous trading day.

HAIFA, Israel , April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM) announced today that the Company will release its first quarter 2025 financial results on Monday, May 19, 2025, before the U.S. financial markets open.

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services is undervalued, trading at half its year-end cash, with a projected $4 EPS for 2025 and $27 per share in cash. New US port fees will slightly offset cost reductions, but ZIM's strategic fleet management and reduced lease liabilities will drive profitability. Trade tensions impact Q2 volumes, but potential de-escalation could boost profits; ZIM's flexible fleet renewal strategy provides resilience.

In the closing of the recent trading day, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM) stood at $13.02, denoting a +0.54% change from the preceding trading day.
