Shopify, Blackstone, and United Parcel Service are the three Shipping stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Shipping stocks are publicly traded equity shares of companies that own, operate, or manage vessels engaged in sea-borne transportation of goods—such as bulk carriers, tankers, container ships and gas carriers. Their share prices tend to fluctuate with global trade volumes, freight rates, vessel supply and demand, and broader economic conditions. Because the shipping industry is cyclical and capital-intensive, shipping stocks are often more volatile than many other sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
