Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 43% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 7, 2025
The company surprised the market with a $295 million profit last quarter and holds $3 billion in cash, yet the stock still trades as if it is in trouble. Chart watchers see signs that selling pressure has dried up, and confidence is soaring after a new U.S.-China trade deal. Because many traders are betting against the shares, a close above $16.3 could force them to buy back, possibly driving the price toward the former $22 level within about twelve weeks, roughly 35% higher than today.
Primary drivers
- Unexpected $295 m profit and $3 b cash give safety cushion and room to grow
- Chart signals show selling pressure fading, pointing to a possible trend change
- Fresh U.S.-China deal boosts demand for shipping, lifting industry outlook now
- Large number of short sellers could rush to buy back shares once price tops $16.3
How it played out
ZIM: target was not reached
Lyra published ZIM at $15.67 on July 7, 2025, with 35% expected growth toward $20.74. The thesis pointed to a $295 million profit last quarter, $3 billion in cash, selling pressure fading on the chart, a U.S.-China trade deal, and short sellers who might buy back if the price closed above $16.3.
Inside the window, ZIM rose to $18 on August 11, a 14.9% peak gain. It stayed below the $20.74 target. It never got there. By October 5, it ended at $13.70. The thesis only partly played out.
What happened during the window
On August 20, 2025, ZIM reported second-quarter 2025 revenue of $1.64 billion, net income of $24 million, and a $0.06 per share dividend. The company also raised the midpoints of its full-year 2025 guidance ranges.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
