ZIM IPOd at the luckiest time imaginable for them.
They IPOd just a few months before spot freight rates 10x’d in a market where they are the only market player that used spot rates.
Now that rates are back to normal they are sitting on an ocean of cash. I believe there must be an informal agreement in Israel(the company is mostly owned by KEN which is famously the holding company of one of Israel’s richest) to make sure every penny coming out of the company is taxed.
So ZIM has been paying out half of its cash haul in divvies and the other half has been sitting there.
So now their business model is crap, their cash flow is collapsing, and they may lose money presently. BUT they have enough cash on their ledgers to take the company private and they are Israel’s largest taxpayer.
imo ZIM is a play on next January’s 2023 balance-for-the-year dividend. If they stick to plan they should have a $15 dividend then. And hopefully you can get in before the divy is common knowledge, but dump before the divy and the share price collapse.
Thing is ZIM is probably fairly priced between $25-30/share.
Buying ZIM at $25 is kinda like buying a pile of $40 for $25 that’s smouldering. But you have absolutely no way of putting the fire out. And the longer it goes on the more cash burns, BUT you’re being teased continually that you will be able to pull about $15 out of the fire in 3-4 months. It’s a great WSB play. Considering the divvy murders all call holders, if you hold options you really need to be on the ball.

global demand for "stuff" is down. They ship "stuff". People are hoarding their money for heat and food........... not goods. Container shippers are not doing so hot. Shippers that haul grains, fertilizers, iron, oil, gas, etc, are "maintaining". I own shipping stocks, so I prol know more about shipping stocks than anyone I know of. This is not financial advise and I have no clue what I am talking about.
r/WallStreetBets is known for making absurd but sometimes profitable trades that no one ever considered possible.
To keep making that possible, we need your help in keeping the feed of threads interesting and exciting.
We try to move all the short and basic questions, analysis, or jokes to the daily thread so that the best quality content can stick around and be more visible.
This is definitely a bit subjective, and there are no hard and fast rules, but a few indicators that your post should have really been a comment in the daily thread include:
Asking a question that is easily googleable or has likely been asked before. E.g. "What app should I use?", "What should I invest in?".
Beating a meme to death, like the 10 millionth, "inverse cramer" joke again.
Reposting jokes from the front page but slightly altered to be related to trading.
All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers.
If you need some guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to modmail and we'll give you some pointers!
