Key Points

  • MarketBeat’s stock screener names five shipping stocks to watch today: Viking (VIK), Almonty Industries (ALM), Frontline (FRO), Scorpio Tankers (STNG), and Golar LNG (GLNG), selected for having the highest dollar trading volume among shipping names in recent days.
  • Viking operates passenger river and ocean cruises with a fleet of 92 ships, while Scorpio Tankers owns or leases about 110 tankers and Golar LNG focuses on FLNG, regasification and LNG shipping infrastructure.
  • Shipping stocks are typically more volatile because their performance is tied to global trade volumes, freight rates, fuel costs and charter terms, and Almonty is included here as a high‑volume name despite being a tungsten producer rather than a shipping operator.
  • Five stocks to consider instead of Viking.

Viking, Almonty Industries, Frontline, Scorpio Tankers, and Golar LNG are the five Shipping stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Shipping stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that own, operate, or manage cargo vessels (such as container ships, bulk carriers and tankers) and generate revenue by transporting goods or chartering their ships. Their performance is closely tied to global trade volumes and freight rates and is sensitive to fuel costs, vessel supply and age, charter contract terms, and cyclical demand, making them typically more volatile than many other sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
