Royal Caribbean: Inflection Point

By -
  •  Royal Caribbean has started generating positive cash flows.
  • The company has a large debt load, but EPS targets top $5 next year due to strong demand.
  • The stock only trades at 11x '23 EPS targets and the cruise line has a path to produce higher earnings.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street. Learn More » 

While Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE:RCL) has seen their business hit a major inflection point, the stock trades at the yearly lows. Despite the storm clouds dissipating on Covid fears, the market has now shifted to concerns on a recession in spite of pent-up consumer demand. My investment thesis remains ultra-Bullish on the cruise lines with the disconnect between demand and stock valuations rather large at this point.

Update - June 24

The negatively on this stock was absurd. Carnival only needed to report a solid backlog to watch these cruise line stocks rebound to May levels. 

-Cruise stocks are soaring in Friday midday trading after Carnival Corp.'s (NYSE:CCL) Q2 results showed that it's filling more of its cabins. Occupancy in the quarter rose to 69%, up from 54% in the prior quarter.
-Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:NCLH) stock is gaining 11% and Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE:RCL) is surging 12%, both stronger moves than Carnival's (CCL) 8.1% increase.
-The significant boost in occupancy came only three days after UBS analyst Robin Farley said investors would "need to see a significant pick up in occupancy from the 50% levels in Q1 (and NCLH even below that) while keeping price above 2019 levels as they have in the quarters since restarting - and for the cruise lines to address some refinancing" before cruise names make much headway.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Update - June 23, 2023 C3.ai has fallen back to earth after the Investor Day meeting. The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
