ZIM Integrated: Good Quarter, Same Problem

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services is maintained at hold due to capped upside from merger uncertainty despite recent operational improvements. Q2 saw YoY growth in revenue, freight rates, and Pacific volumes, but operating expenses outpaced revenue and reported EBIT declined. Full-year 2026 guidance is robust, with adjusted EBITDA of $2.0–$2.4 billion and EBIT of $700 million–$1.1 billion, supported by fixed costs and seasonal rate strength.
