Key Points

  • Viking (VIK), Golar LNG (GLNG), and Almonty Industries (ALM) are the three "shipping" stocks MarketBeat highlights today, selected because they had the highest dollar trading volume among shipping-related names in recent days.
  • Viking is a passenger shipping and tourism operator with a 92-ship fleet (81 river vessels, 9 ocean ships, 2 expedition ships) serving river and ocean segments worldwide.
  • Golar LNG focuses on LNG marine infrastructure and FLNG projects and provides LNG transportation and vessel management, while Almonty is a tungsten concentrate producer that ships material from its Panasqueira mine in Portugal — both are included primarily due to trading activity rather than identical business models.
  • MarketBeat previews top five stocks to own in May.

Viking, Golar LNG, and Almonty Industries are the three Shipping stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. "Shipping stocks" are shares of companies that own, operate, or manage vessels and other assets involved in transporting cargo by sea (including container, dry bulk and tanker carriers). Their value is driven largely by global trade volumes and freight rates and is sensitive to factors such as vessel supply, chartering contracts, fuel and port costs, and cyclical economic and regulatory changes. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
