Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. operates in ocean container transportation, generating revenue primarily from freight charges across a network spanning the Pacific, Atlantic, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, in addition to revenue from vehicle shipping and non-containerized cargo. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the company operated 115 container vessels with a total capacity of 709 thousand TEUs, including 46 modern vessels delivered between 2023 and January 2025, while revenue from non-container activities, mostly vehicle carriers, amounted to $78 million.
The latest results published in the news showed that net income reached $64 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, up 170%, with total liquidity of $2.53 billion and net debt of $2.77 billion as of June 30, 2026. The latest detailed disclosure in the earnings call, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, reported revenue of $1.8 billion, net income of $123 million, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of $593 million at a 33% margin, and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of $260 million at a 15% margin.
The annual financial statements reflect the highly cyclical nature of the business; fiscal year 2025 revenue declined to $6.9 billion from $8.4 billion in fiscal year 2024, net income fell to $479.2 million from $2.1 billion, and gross profit decreased to $1.3 billion from $2.8 billion. Nevertheless, the company remained profitable after a net loss of $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, illustrating how sensitive ZIM's results are to freight rates and global capacity.
Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.
The analyst consensus is Neutral, with an average price target of $20 and both the highest and lowest targets at $20, indicating no meaningful dispersion among the available estimates. This target is approximately 33% below the 52-week range high of $29.97, while the range low is $12.33; no usable price-to-earnings ratio is available, which is consistent with the sharp volatility in earnings between a $2.7 billion loss in fiscal year 2023, a $2.1 billion profit in fiscal year 2024, and then $479.2 million in fiscal year 2025.

ZIM's net income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was approximately $64 million, up 170%. The company raised its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization guidance for fiscal year 2026 to $2.0–$2.4 billion. The results are supported by fleet efficiency and the improved freight-rate environment mentioned in August 2026 news, but their continuation remains sensitive to the global supply-demand balance.
Fiscal year 2025 revenue declined to $6.9 billion from $8.4 billion, and net income fell to $479.2 million from $2.1 billion. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the average freight rate per TEU dropped to $1,602 from $2,480 a year earlier, alongside a 4.5% decline in carried volume. As a result, the adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization margin fell to 33% from 55%.
The announced transaction is valued at $4.2 billion, and its proceedings were still ongoing as of August 19, 2026, pending regulatory approvals and closing conditions. On August 10, 2026, reports indicated that the Israeli government might reject the transaction due to the sensitivity of strategic shipping assets. Therefore, the transaction represents both a potential catalyst and a source of execution risk, and the available information does not support treating its completion as certain.
ZIM returned 22 vessels to their owners during fiscal year 2025 and reduced its operating capacity from approximately 780 thousand TEUs at the beginning of the year to nearly 710 thousand in the third quarter. It had 17 vessels with a capacity of 55 thousand TEUs available for return during fiscal year 2026. The company is focusing on retaining larger, newer, and more efficient vessels, while the industry's orderbook stood at 31% and 2027 deliveries were expected to exceed 3 million TEUs.
Approximately 60% of ZIM's capacity in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 consisted of modern vessels, and 40% of capacity was LNG-powered. The core fleet includes 46 modern vessels delivered to the company between 2023 and January 2025, helping to increase charter-cost visibility and improve fuel efficiency. The company also contracted for ten dual-fuel vessels with a capacity of 11,500 TEUs each, with delivery dates in 2027 and 2028.
The policy cited in the November 20, 2025 call provides for distributing 30% of quarterly net income, with an annual true-up that may increase the distribution to 50% of annual net income at the board of directors' discretion. The company declared $0.31 per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, totaling approximately $37 million, and declared fiscal year 2025 dividends through that date amounted to $9.09 per share. However, because the policy is tied to net income, distributions are exposed to fluctuations in freight rates and profitability, and a recurrence of previous levels is not guaranteed.
