ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Price and EPS Surprise
Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for ZIM this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
We expect the company’s bottom-line performance is likely to have been hit by escalated voyage operating costs. Elevated fuel costs due to the unrest in the Middle East are also likely to have hurt the bottom-line performance. High labor costs are likely to have been a spoilsport.
An update on the tariff concerns is also expected on the first-quarter conference call. The latest takeover bid for ZIM, by an Israeli investor group led by businessman Haim Sakal, is likely to be discussed on the conference call. This latest bid, which was submitted recently to acquire full ownership of ZIM for $4.5 billion in cash, challenges an existing merger agreement with German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd and Israel’s FIMI fund.
A decrease in freight rates and carried volume is expected to have hurt revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. However, continued fleet expansion initiatives are likely to have driven the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
