The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings has been stable at $12.65 per share over the past 60 days. ZIM Integrated Shipping, which went public in February 2021, outpaced on earnings in each of the last four quarters, the average being 22.67%.
ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
Against this backdrop, let’s look at the factors that might have shaped ZIM Integrated Shipping’s March-quarter performance.
With the gradual resumption of economic activities, the world trade picked up the pace, which in turn, is likely to aid the first-quarter results of shipping stocks like ZIM Integrated Shipping. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting an enormous proportion of goods involved in world trade.
Revenues in the to-be-reported quarter are expected to have increased from fourth-quarter 2021 actuals, driven by improved revenues from containerized cargo, reflecting higher freight rates among other factors.
The positive sentiment surrounding the containership market is a huge positive for ZIM Integrated Shipping and might have aided its top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. On the flip side, escalated voyage operating expenses, mainly due to increased fuel costs, are likely to have hurt the bottom line in the March quarter.

Euronav has an Earnings ESP of +10.00% and a Zacks Rank #2. EURN will announce the first-quarter 2022 results on May 12.
Optimism surrounding higher tanker demand is serving EURN well. However, high fuel costs are denting Euronav’s bottom line.
