Oil prices are expected to rise, leading to increased volatility in various industries. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts could boost oil demand, benefiting transportation stocks like Star Bulk Carriers Corp., ZIM Integrated Ltd., and Tidewater Inc.

Analysts foresee a 47.3% upside potential for Star Bulk Carriers stock, with a target price of $28 per share. The stock offers a 14.8% dividend yield, attracting investors as fundamental tailwinds gain momentum.

ZIM Integrated faces risks from geopolitical conflicts but also benefits from pricing power due to demand from tighter routes. With a P/B ratio of 1.3x, the stock offers a discount compared to peers in the transportation sector.

Tidewater stock, a direct player in energy transport, could see triple-digit upside potential, with a target price of $102.25 per share. Institutions like State Street have increased their holdings, recognizing the stock as a Buy opportunity. The stock’s P/B ratio of 2.6x is below the transportation sector average valuation.
