Key Points

  • MarketBeat flagged Viking (VIK), Scorpio Tankers (STNG) and Almonty Industries (ALM) as the top shipping stocks by recent dollar trading volume, noting shipping names are highly cyclical and tied to global trade, freight rates, fuel costs and regulatory changes.
  • Viking (VIK) is a passenger cruise and river operator with a fleet of 92 ships (81 river vessels, 9 ocean ships and 2 expedition ships), making it a major leisure-shipping exposure to watch.
  • Scorpio Tankers (STNG) operates a fleet of 110 owned/leased tankers (including 39 LR2, 57 MR and 14 Handymax), while Almonty (ALM) is actually a tungsten producer that mines and ships concentrate from its Panasqueira mine in Portugal, so its inclusion reflects shipping activity rather than traditional vessel operations.
  • Interested in Viking? Here are five stocks we like better.

Viking, Scorpio Tankers, 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, charter or provide services to merchant vessels and the maritime transport sector — including container lines, dry-bulk and tanker operators, port operators and ship-management firms. For investors they tend to be highly cyclical and sensitive to global trade volumes, freight rates (e.g., the Baltic Dry Index), fuel costs and regulatory changes, which can make them volatile but closely tied to macroeconomic trends. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
