Key Points

  • MarketBeat’s shipping-stock watchlist includes seven companies: Viking (VIK), Almonty Industries (ALM), Frontline (FRO), Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK), Torm (TRMD), Okeanis Eco Tankers (ECO), and Golar LNG (GLNG), selected for having the highest recent dollar trading volume among shipping stocks.
  • The companies span passenger transport, tungsten mining and shipping, dry-bulk cargo, refined petroleum products, oil tankers, and LNG infrastructure. Their performance can be volatile because it is influenced by global trade, freight rates, fuel costs, fleet capacity, and economic cycles.
  • Notable operating profiles include Viking’s fleet of river, ocean, and expedition vessels; Star Bulk’s 116-vessel dry-bulk fleet; and Golar LNG’s focus on floating liquefied-natural-gas infrastructure, LNG shipping, storage, and regasification.
  • Five stocks to consider instead of Viking.
