Read MoreHide Full Article
ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM - Free Report) shares rallied 8.6% in the last trading session to close at $28.55. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 0.9% loss over the past four weeks.
Shares of the shipping company soared after reports of a another takeover bid emerged. According to a report from Ynet, an Israeli investor group led by businessman Haim Sakal submitted an offer Tuesday to acquire full ownership of ZIM for $4.5 billion in cash, challenging an existing merger agreement with German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd and Israel’s FIMI fund.
This container shipping company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.22 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -109%. Revenues are expected to be $1.59 billion, down 20.6% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For ZIM, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 113.7% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on ZIM going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
