This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.56 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
ZIM shares have lost about 14.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.3%.
While ZIM has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for ZIM: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Record Short Against Maersk Backfires in Trade-War Defying Rally
Shorting the stock of the world's largest listed shipping company during a global trade war may seem like a sure bet. But the investors who've loaded up on the trade since April have so far only been handed big losses. Shares representing just under a third of A. P. Moller-Maersk A/S's free float are currently out on loan, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, the highest level since data collection began in 2014. The measure, which is indicative of short interest, is up from about 15% at the beginning of April, when US President Donald Trump announced sweeping plans for import duties on all US trading partners.

Why Trade Desk (TTD) Stock Is Plummeting Today
Aug 8 - The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD) dropped nearly 40% on Friday after warning that new U.S. tariffs are making advertisers nervous, and it's hitting the company hard. CEO Jeff Green told analysts that many of its big-brand clients are dialing back ad spending due to economic uncertainty and pressure from tariffs. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with TTD. The warning overshadowed an 18.7% year-over-year revenue jump to $694 million, which beat expectations. But adjusted earnings per share landed at $0.41, just short of forecasts. Adding to the shakeup, the company also announced a leadership change. Board member Alex Kayyal is stepping in as the new CFO, replacing Laura Schenkein, who will stay on through the end of the year to support the transition. TTD shares, which recently gained momentum after joining the S&P 500, have now erased those gains, and more, dropping below $55 and down over 50% for the year. The combination of geopolitical pressures and internal changes is leaving investors wary of what's next for one of the ad tech sector's biggest names. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Britain's M&S restores click and collect services 15 weeks after systems hacked
LONDON (Reuters) -British retailer Marks & Spencer has resumed taking click and collect orders for clothing after a 15-week hiatus following a cyber hack and data theft. The 141-year-old M&S stopped taking orders through its website and app for clothing and home deliveries and collection from stores on April 25, three days after disclosing it was managing a "cyber incident". It resumed taking online orders for delivery on June 10 but click and collect services, which allow customers to order items online and pick up in stores, had remained suspended. M&S's website said on Monday that click and collect had resumed. The company did not respond immediately to a request for comment. In May, M&S forecast the hacking of its systems would cost it about 300 million pounds ($404 million) in lost operating profit in its 2025/26 financial year, though it hopes to halve the impact through insurance and cost control. As part of its management of the hack and data theft, M&S took other systems offline. That reduced both clothing and food availability in stores, further denting sales. Rivals, such as Next in clothing and Sainsbury's in food, have been beneficiaries. M&S CEO Stuart Machin told investors in early July the group would be over the worst of the fallout from the incident by August. Shares in M&S are down 12% so far this year. ($1 = 0.7424 pounds)
