The analyst based the rating on factors affecting ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.’s (NYSE:ZIM) financial outlook, stating that a notable reason is the expected drop in the Transpacific freight rates, which may decline by 10% sequentially in Q2, with an additional substantial drop expected in H2 2025.

Kayani attributed this decline to an oversupply in the container shipping industry, backed by increased capacity after an easing of the US-China tariffs.

The analyst also reasoned that although ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.’s (NYSE:ZIM) 2025 earnings are at the upper end of guidance, management lowered the adjusted EBITDA estimate by 3% to $2.1 billion, aligning with consensus estimates.
