Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 89% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published July 2, 2025
Shipping prices are recovering after a new US-China trade deal, which has lifted investor mood. First-quarter profit reached $295M, yet shares still trade at only 80% of the companys asset value. With nearly $3B more cash than debt, management could resume dividends. Buying interest is rising, and the busy summer shipping season often boosts results, so touching $18 before September seems reachable.
Primary drivers
- US-China deal lifts Pacific shipping demand, keeping freight prices up.
- Strong $295M profit and $3B cash pile could let the firm restart dividends.
- Stock trades below the worth of its ships and cash, giving a safety cushion.
- Buying activity is picking up just before the busiest shipping months.
How it played out
ZIM: peak touched 18 before reversal
