Bank of America analyst, Muneeba Kayani, has adjusted the price target for ZIM Integrated Shipping (ZIM, Financial), reducing it from $16 to $12.80. The firm's shares retain an Underperform rating as the analyst remains cautious about the industry’s outlook.

Ocean freight rates have plunged by 45% this year, and this decline comes even before any significant geopolitical events like the reopening of the Red Sea or potential trade conflicts. The analyst highlights the possibility of a prolonged period of excess supply in the container shipping industry, which could continue to pressure ZIM's performance.
