BofA Reiterates a Sell Rating on ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM)

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:ZIM) is one of the best shipping and container stocks to invest in now. On July 16, Muneeba Kayani, an analyst from Bank of America Securities, reiterated a Sell rating on ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:ZIM) with an associated price target of $14.80.

The analyst based the rating on factors affecting ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.’s (NYSE:ZIM) financial outlook, stating that a notable reason is the expected drop in the Transpacific freight rates, which may decline by 10% sequentially in Q2, with an additional substantial drop expected in H2 2025.

Kayani attributed this decline to an oversupply in the container shipping industry, backed by increased capacity after an easing of the US-China tariffs.

The analyst also reasoned that although ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.’s (NYSE:ZIM) 2025 earnings are at the upper end of guidance, management lowered the adjusted EBITDA estimate by 3% to $2.1 billion, aligning with consensus estimates.

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:ZIM) provides shipping and logistics services, including the transportation of refrigerated cargo, out-of-gauge cargo, and dangerous and hazardous cargo.
