The rising volume of e-commerce means that shipping companies are experiencing more and more parcel deliveries. Some of these companies have transitioned from mail delivery to focus on parcels. A major threat is the growth of Amazon’s own delivery system, but for now, there is still growth to be realized.

Another important component for shipping companies is global trade. Globalization and increasing connectivity will drive the growth of these companies. There were some sell-offs last year due to the US – China trade war, but this situation looks to be resolving. There are also some concerns over the European market and their slow-down. In the long-term, they make great investments, as globalization will surely continue, and shipping companies are instrumental in facilitating trade. One important thing to watch out for, is that these companies follow the economy and will go up and down with the health of the market.

🚚 Industrials

United Parcel Services (UPS-N)
A world leader in parcel delivery and supply chain management solutions. Analysts expect that they will continue to grow and will transition from brick and mortar to online. They have large economies of scale and will survive, even with competition from Amazon.

The Bulk Dry Index has come around not too badly. Indicators had been pointing him to stronger global growth, which he is happy with.
