Better Buy: Textainer Group Holdings Limited (TGH) vs. Teekay Corporation (TK)

Although Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: TGH)and Teekay Corporation (NYSE: TK)are both focused on the shipping industry, they go about it in vastly different ways. Both companies were hit hard by industry downturns, but Textainer started to see a notable improvement in its container business in 2017.

Teekay's collection of ship-owning businesses in the energy sector, on the other hand, continued to struggle overall -- but signs seem to point to an upturn this year. Which one is the better buy today?
