Global X S&P 500 U.S. Revenue Leaders ETF (EGLE)

For many of us, ETFs have been synonymous with passive management. Since the early 1990s, ETFs have followed in the footsteps of the most well-known passive ETF — the S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY).

It's early days into the earnings season, and FactSet data shows that results reported so far put the S&P 500 on track for its seventh consecutive quarter of growth. The S&P 500, however, is sitting at about a 10% loss year-to-date, struggling to find a lot of upside amid ongoing concerns about international trade.

Global X introduces two new U.S. equity ETFs today on the NYSE – the Global X S&P 500 U.S. Revenue Leaders ETF (EGLE), and the Global X S&P 500 U.S Market Leaders Top 50 ETF (FLAG).

Shipping stocks were on the rise Tuesday despite Monday's ballistic missile attack on a U.S. -owned vessel in the Gulf of Aden.

A ship owned by Connecticut-based Eagle Bulk was hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen on Monday, according to the dry bulk vessel operator, amid escalating strikes on commercial shipping lanes conducted by Houthi rebels, who have not claimed responsibility for Monday's attack.

Shipping companies enable the transport of raw materials and finished products across oceans and borders. The global marine vessel industry is set to expand over the coming years to reach a market value of $188.57 billion by 2028.

Danaos' strategic investment in Eagle Bulk, initially met with skepticism, has proven highly profitable. Eagle Bulk's merger with Star Bulk Carriers and a surge in dry bulk rates amid the Red Sea blockade have contributed to Danaos' share price rally. Still, significant upside prospects remain from Danaos' core investment case alone.

Shipping stocks are off to a good start in 2024. But to the untrained eye, that may appear strange.

I recently read about Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc.'s (EGLE, Financial) announced acquisition by Star Bulk Carrier's Corp. (SBLK, Financial) in an all-stock merger with a market capitalization of $2.1 billion. Petros Pappas, Star's CEO, will retain his leadership role and Eagle management will assume supporting roles.
