Company report, royal caribbean's hardware and experiences continue to compel consumers to cruise.

Consumer interest in travel has maintained momentum for Royal Caribbean into 2024, continuing the robust demand and pricing trends in the business. The redeployment of the fleet was completed in mid-2022 and occupancy has returned to historical levels aiding a normalization of profits and cash flow. Royal Caribbean reported record pricing in 2023 (13% above 2019's level), with further growth anticipated in 2024, given robust advance booking patterns and price levels thanks to a healthy consumer appetite for travel. On the cost side, expenses should be better managed ahead as a result of optimized occupancy and ongoing productivity initiatives, aiding profitability.

Price vs Fair Value

Bulls say, bears say.

If consumer preference for experiences over things persists, yields could rise faster than we currently expect as demand rises.

Weakness in consumer spending spurred by an economic downturn could affect discretionary spending and cause pricing to soften intermittently.

3 Reasons Royal Caribbean Stock Can Double Again in 2024

O ne of the three leading cruise line stocks is standing out again in 2024. Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE: RCL) stock is not just beating the market again by trading 21% higher year to date. It's the only one delivering a positive gain, as rivals Carnival Corp.  and Norwegian Cruise Line  are currently trading lower than they were at the start of the year.

Royal Caribbean also led the way last year, soaring 162% in a year that found all three stocks coasting well ahead of Wall Street averages. Can Royal Caribbean double again in 2024? It may seem like a tall order for a stock that is only a fifth of the way to repeating the feat at the halfway point of the year, but the ocean waters could be more inviting than the market thinks at this point. Let's go over three reasons why the cruise line operator's stock can double again this year.

1. The cruise line industry is sailing along nicely

There are plenty of reasons why Royal Caribbean continues to be the class act among the three leading operators of ocean liners. It has historically commanded higher margins and stronger revenue growth than its rivals. This was true before the pandemic, and it continues to be the case after the crisis that temporarily shut sailings down four years ago.

However, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian are all seeing their fundamentals improve with every passing update. Carnival is the latest player to report quarterly results, operating on a different fiscal calendar than its peers. Last week's financial performance did not disappoint . Carnival exceeded expectations on both ends of the income statement, delivering its first profit for a fiscal second quarter in five years.

It's not just Carnival showing off its sea legs. Earlier this year the market saw Royal Caribbean and Norwegian post blowout results with raised guidance, only to announce three weeks later in both cases that that they were boosting the already upwardly revised outlook. All three operators are benefiting from strong demand. They all currently have record bookings for future sailings.

The only thing brighter than the past is the future, yet two of the three stocks are trading lower this year. I argue that all three stocks are currently depressed, even with Royal Caribbean's 21% increase this year. There are big gains being suppressed, and all three stocks could jump higher in the second half of 2024 if the fundamentals keep improving.

2. Following the beat

Royal Caribbean stock has more than tripled since the start of last year, but it is still cheap by most conventional measuring sticks. It's trading for just 14 times this year's projected earnings and 12 times next year's analyst forecast. The multiple is higher if we go with enterprise value instead of market cap given the leveraged nature of the industry players, but that's also the fuel that can be a tailwind when things are going well.

Things are going well.

The thing about Royal Caribbean's attractive forward P/E ratio is that Wall Street pros might be aiming too low. This is exactly what has happened in the past. Size up where analyst profit targets were relative to where Royal Caribbean landed just over the past year.

Data source: Yahoo! Finance.

Royal Caribbean has consistently rattled off double-digit percentage beats on the bottom line. It's not a surprise that the stock more than doubled last year. The real surprise here is that it saved its biggest beat for its latest report, but the stock isn't faring as well as it did in 2023 -- so far.

3. Analysts keep trying to catch up

The sentiment is only getting more bullish since Royal Caribbean's last blowout performance in April. It will announce its second-quarter numbers later this month. Estimates continue to inch higher. Profit forecasts for the quarter that ended over the weekend have grown from $2.37 a share to $2.74 a share since its last report. Momentum suggests another beat is possible.

Keeping up with a company that keeps leaving Wall Street pros in the dust isn't fun for the analysts, but it's a treat for investors. The last move came last week when Citi boosted its price target from $165 to what is now a Street-high $204. Carnival's strong report inspired the increase, but recent history tells us that the market is aiming too low again.

Citi's new price goal -- again, currently the highest of all analysts -- is just 58% higher than where Royal Caribbean's stock was at the beginning of the year. Put another way, there isn't an analyst out there who thinks Royal Caribbean will double again in the next six months. The way that cruise line stocks in general have defied expectations, an optimistic contrarian is probably a good thing to be right now.

3 Reasons Royal Caribbean Stock Can Double Again in 2024

Cruise lines forced to change plans as Hurricane Beryl moves through the Caribbean

Hurricane Beryl has forced several major cruise lines to divert and change their itineraries as the Category 4 storm barrels through the Caribbean .

The storm, which broke records as both the earliest Category 4 and Category 5 hurricane , has already killed six people in the eastern Caribbean. Now, the life-threatening hurricane is moving towards Jamaica , where it‘s expected to hit on Wednesday. From there, the storm could reach as far north as Texas , according to predictions from the National Weather Service.

As a result, several Caribbean cruises are changing plans to keep their passengers safe.

Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas , the largest cruise ship in the world, is among those changing their itineraries, the travel site Cruise reports. It will now forgo visits to two islands in the southeastern Caribbean, according to the site.

The line’s Wonder of the Seas has also cancelled stops in Roatán and Costa Maya, instead opting to sail to Nassau as Hurricane Beryl rages on, according to Cruise.

A spokesperson for Royal Caribbean did not provide the exact number of ships impacted but said guests will be notified directly about itinerary changes.

“The safety of our guests, crew and communities we visit is our top priority,” the spokesperson said. “Along with our Chief Meteorologist, we are closely monitoring the progression of Hurricane Beryl, and are making adjustments to some of our Caribbean sailings for the comfort and safety of our guests and crew.”

Meanwhile, Norwegian Cruise Line almost entirely altered its week-long itinerary for the Norwegian Breakaway ship.

“To circumvent the path of hurricane Beryl and forecasted inclement weather, we have made the decision to take a safer, alternative route,” the cruise line said in a letter to passengers. “Despite our best efforts, and with the weather disturbances out of our control, we have canceled our calls to Roatan Bay Islands, Honduras; Harvest Caye, Belize; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico.”

Passengers have been sharing their experiences on social media.

“We left out on Harmony of the Seas this afternoon and they changed our itinerary to avoid the storm...cruise director said captain and crew will just find some great sunny weather and plan plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy onboard for 3 sea days,” one passenger wrote on Facebook.

“This is the reason I NEVER cruise during Hurricane season,” another user posted.

Hurricane Beryl has caused widespread devastation, destroying hundreds of homes and knocking out power to several communities.

The storm killed at least three people in Grenada and Carriacou. One of them died in St George’s, Grenada’s capital after a tree fell on their home.

“This hits home,” Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell said. “The deceased person is in fact the relative of one of the persons who spent the last 36 hours with us here at the National Emergency Operating Center.”

One person was also killed in St Vincent and the Grenadines, Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves said on Monday.

Meanwhile, officials reported two deaths in northern Venezuela, as well as five people missing amid heavy rainfall from the hurricane, the Associated Press reports.
