Viking, Frontline, and Golar LNG are the three Shipping stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. "Shipping stocks" are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is maritime transport — for example container carriers, bulk carriers, tankers, and shipping lessors — that investors buy and sell on stock exchanges. Their performance is closely tied to freight rates and global trade volumes and is sensitive to fuel costs, fleet supply and scrapping, shipping regulations, and the economic cycle, making them typically cyclical and volatile investments. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
