BUY

They defied even his own skepticism. They delivered a remarkable quarter: renewed strength from Asia, helped by stimulus in China. They lead in cruises.

BUY
RCL vs. NVDA

Both are good. RCL is s good play on the consumers. Shares are up 35% this year. NVDA: he just heard from demand for their Blackwell is insane.

WEAK BUY

In the space, he'd prefer a name like RCL, given its scale and leadership capabilities. Performing well from a technical perspective. Though lower interest rates will help the debt situation, you do need to be concerned in the near term with the consumer and the economy.

BUY
RCL vs. CCL

Up till Covid, well-positioned to take advantage of increased cruising. Had to offer new shares, which diluted shares and increased debt. Clawing their way back up from lows. Cruise industry is very positive for next 12 months. Down with overall market today.

RCL is in better shape and better managed.

SELL

He took profits not too long ago. Likes the name longer term, demographics speak to more travel. He'd prefer a name like BKNG, which takes away cost of ship maintenance, etc.

The leader among the top 3. Chart's a bit extended, overbought. He'd consider it at a lower valuation.

household goods
BUY

Best among the cruise line stocks given its healthy balance sheet, better than Carnival. Tailwind comes from demand post-pandemic. The #3 S&P stock of 2023, up over 160%. There remains huge demand from Americans. Also, Wall Street no longer expects a hard landing to the economy, which a soft one which benefits the cruise lines.

HOLD

It is close to where it was at the beginning of the pandemic but has issued substantial shares since then. Continue to hold but you could lighten up when the holiday season is over. People are spending more on basics like clothes and shoes this Christmas season and other spending is down.

household goods
BUY

Cruise lines have all done well because travel is booming. He'd pick this one, but they'll all do well. Q3 is generally their best quarter. Run up a lot already, so may see a pullback after Q3. Pent-up demand might even last into 2024.

household goods
DON'T BUY

Discouraged by Carnival's results today. A strong pass.

household goods
BUY

Shut down during Covid, but the cruise stocks are bouncing back. Life is too short thesis: people can't wait to experience things.

DON'T BUY
RCL vs. CCL Before Covid, cruise business was great, a cosy oligopoly. Barriers to entry are high. RCL is best in class for management, brand, ships, and customer mix. At some point everyone has to get on a plane, but not everyone needs to go on a cruise. It's a completely discretionary item. He's sticking with airlines. With these tough times and a recession, stick with companies that have pricing power.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
As economy recovers from pandemic, demand for travel will increase. Believes company to preform well. Rising oil price a concern for the business. Prefers other companies in the sector (Expedia) that do not have capital costs. Current share price is not a good price to buy at.

COMMENT
Last year it bottomed at $10, but they just did a giant stock offering at $91, based on predictions that will sail soon. A juggernaut. It's riding the current reopening rotation.
household goods
RISKY

Royal Caribbean is a little better than Carnival, but all these stocks will benefit from the coming travel boom and economic reopening. Keeping ships at port is a big expense over all these months. There's 20-25% recovery left in the cruiselines. He bought at the bottom and has sold some. There's still upside here, but it's a higher risk stock. Sure, some travelers will never cruise again, but once vaccines are in place enough will come back. Cruiselines have recovered from past health scares.

household goods
DON'T BUY
An obvious reopening play, but they reported another weak quarter though a great 2022 forecast. The stock has had a huge run and the CEO raised $1.5 billion with an equity offering. Why not? They need the money.
