Which is why I said

I wouldn't make my decision just based on reading on a website (or even a responsa) unless it is clear cut and accepted by all. This is a very specified topic in Halacha, and there are those who specialize in these things. Chilul Shabbos is only one of the issues. What if they issue bonds or notes and don't have a proper Heter Iska?

My guiding principle is ברכת ה' היא תעשיר, in order to have that ברכה I would like my investments to be clean of any חשש ריבית or other issurim. On a personal level, if I know it's a Jewish controlled company that engages in איסורי דאורייתא I will look elsewhere. There are plenty of fish in the ocean.

What ZIM competitors would you recommend

Me? Recommend? Stocks? In a public forum?

Which planet have you been on?

FTR: I don't recommend any specific stock to anyone, whether online or in person. I also don't make any investment recommendations at all, whether in stocks or otherwise in any public forum. At most you might see from me some personal opinions, and those are usually very generalized.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Methinks you are more sensitive to ZIM's chilul shabbos than to some other jewish-owned companies

Wrong. I know why you think so, but whenever I am aware of Jewish control I try to avoid until I research it to the extent I'm somewhat comfortable.

Clean energy stocks are on a tear past few days, and have a bright future with the current political setup. I am leaning on investing in a solar ETF such as Invesco solar TAN. Any other suggestions?

It doesn't have to be from you, but if you have any similar stocks worth looking at, you can mention without recommending anything specific

So you might want to rephrase your request, so it sounds more like a solicitation for ideas than a request for recommendations. If I were you I wouldn't take any recommendations whatsoever on a public forum.

I typically like to do my own research but I don’t watch the market much. Any suggested stocks would be the beginning of my research not the end.

ABNB lockup expiration seems to be on 6/8. How is that different than the expiration on IPO shares that took place mid May?

Judging by the stock's volatility it's probably possible for the stock to drop more than the cost of the popcorn in the few minutes that it would take to claim it :)

This could go in other threads (is there a "kicking myself for..." thread?) but I'll post here because it's related to stocks.

I can't get over how I got too busy or distracted to close out a short covered call position around expiration (for a profit), the stock closed slightly ITM, the call was exercised on me, only to see it run away (currently more than 13% above the exercise price, which was a decent profit in and of itself).
