Why Zim Integrated Shipping Stock Is Down Big Today: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/769172/cargo-ship-getting-loaded-with-containers-source-getty.jpg

Zim Integrated Shipping Services (NYSE: ZIM) reported fourth-quarter results that were slightly above expectations, but there is no end in sight to the macro headwinds that have plagued this business. Investors were hoping for more, and Zim shares were down nearly 14% as of 11:30 ET Wednesday.

Zim owns and operates a fleet of cargo ships. This is a cyclical business, and 2023 was a difficult year. Concerns about the global economy and higher interest rates led big shipping customers to cut back on cargo volumes, which depressed prices for shipping services.

Investors have worried that Zim is particularly vulnerable to a downturn because of its relatively high debt load.
