Yang Ming Reports Profit Decline in Q2 2025 Amid Trade Uncertainties
Yang Ming's Q2 2025 earnings drop, highlighting the impact of trade instability and overcapacity on global ocean carriers.
Ocean carrier Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a significant drop in profit impacted by uncertainties in trade negotiations and a downturn in the shipping market.
Specifically, for the second quarter, Yang Ming's consolidated revenues reached TWD 38.66 billion (USD 1.21 billion), but its net profit after tax was only TWD 0.99 billion (USD 30.9 million), resulting in an earnings per share (EPS) of just TWD 0.28.
For the first half of 2025, Yang Ming's consolidated revenues totaled TWD 84.17 billion (USD 2.64 billion), with a net profit after tax of TWD 8.76 billion (USD 274.82 million). The EPS for the first six months was TWD 2.51. This profitability was affected by declining cargo volumes and freight rates due to trade uncertainties, as well as the imposition of corporate income tax on undistributed earnings.
Shipping Market Faces Major Challenges
The International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s July 2025 report forecasts global GDP growth of 3.0% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, suggesting that trade barriers have had a less severe impact than anticipated. However, uncertainty in trade negotiations and geopolitical developments continue to cloud the overall outlook.
Within the container shipping sector, organizations like Drewry and Alphaliner forecast that global fleet capacity will increase by 6.3% and 6.2%, respectively, in 2025, while demand is only expected to grow by 2.0% and 2.7%. This signals a significant impending supply-demand imbalance. Drewry also predicts that market conditions will soften in the second half of the year due to the front-loading of shipments in the first half.
On the supply side, carriers continue to reroute vessels via the Cape of Good Hope to mitigate security risks in the Red Sea, which has helped to absorb some of the excess capacity.
Despite this, market conditions vary across different trade lanes. The transpacific trade is affected by U.S. tariff uncertainties, while the Asia-Europe and Asia-Mediterranean routes are expected to remain positive. Intra-Asia demand remains stable, whereas the Asia-Australia, Asia-Latin America, and other routes require close monitoring due to market volatility.
Yang Ming's Path Forward
Amid these volatile market conditions, Yang Ming has stated it will focus on providing reliable services, managing capacity flexibly, and developing new markets. The carrier will also continue its fleet optimization program, replacing older vessels with energy-efficient, alternative-fuel-ready ships to enhance operational flexibility and build a sustainable, secure, and low-carbon global transportation network.
