Carnival Corp CCL

Company report, consumer interest in sailing carnival brands buoyed beyond pent-up pandemic demand.

Carnival remains the largest company in the cruise industry, with nine global brands and 92 ships at the end of fiscal 2023. The global cruise market has historically been underpenetrated, offering cruise companies a long-term demand opportunity. Additionally, the repositioning and deployment of ships to faster-growing and underrepresented regions like Asia-Pacific had helped balance the supply in high-capacity regions like the Caribbean and Mediterranean prior to the pandemic, a factor which the firm can again utilize to help optimize forward pricing. With an European demand profile that has recently returned to normalized levels, we believe there is ample support for improving economic performance at Carnival.

Price vs Fair Value

Bulls say, bears say.

As Carnival continues to optimize occupancy, passenger counts and yields could rise at a faster pace than we currently anticipate.

The media accessing negative experience commentary regarding cruise incidents could weigh on Carnival's brand image and pricing leverage, making new cruisers hesitant to try cruising. A decrease in new cruisers leads to fewer repeat cruisers.

What's Good for Royal Caribbean and NCL Is Great for Carnival Stock

May 01, 2024 — 11:55 am EDT

Written by Rick Munarriz for The Motley Fool  ->

Two of the three largest cruise line operators have posted quarterly results over the past week. Don't expect to hear from Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) anytime soon. The market leader operates on a different fiscal year that ends in November. Carnival's next earnings call won't take place until late June.

It's still important for Carnival shareholders to check on how its rivals are faring. Royal Caribbean 's (NYSE: RCL) blowout performance last week and Norwegian Cruise Line 's (NYSE: NCLH) strong showing this Wednesday morning reaffirm the improving state of the industry. With cruise line stocks merely drifting along in 2024 after trouncing the market last year, it could be a great time to come aboard.

The water's fine

Norwegian Cruise Line saw its revenue rise 20% to $2.19 billion through the first three months of this year. An 8% increase in its fleet capacity, along with the more encouraging trends of increased occupancy levels and an 8% jump in total revenue per passenger cruise day, helped lift the top line above its pre-pandemic showings. Analysts were actually holding out for a 23% increase in revenue, but the news gets better on the bottom line.

The third-largest cruise line operator reversed a year-ago deficit to post an adjusted profit of $0.16 a share in the first quarter. Norwegian was only eyeing net income of $0.12 a share. With improving margins and its forward-booked position at an all-time high, it became the latest player in the cruising market to boost its guidance.

Norwegian now sees a profit of $1.32 a share for all of 2024, up from its previous goal of $1.23 a share. Nearly half of that boost resulted from its first-quarter beat, but it obviously sees stronger-than-expected earnings growth for the balance of this year, too.

Norwegian shares opened slightly lower on Wednesday as a result of the top-line miss, but that wasn't the case with larger peer Royal Caribbean last week. The world's second-largest cruise line saw its first-quarter revenue soar 29%, comfortably ahead of Wall Street's crow's nest. Royal Caribbean also blew profit targets out of the water and has jacked up its full-year profit outlook twice in the last three months.

Here's the opportunity

The first quarter wasn't perfect for the industry, outside of Royal Caribbean's blowout showing. Carnival joins Norwegian in falling short on revenue growth in its fiscal first quarter, announced in late March . All three players still grew their total revenue by at least 20%, obliterating expectations on the earnings front.

The future is bright. All three players also closed out their latest quarters with record booking levels and customer deposits. The allure of ocean getaways has never been stronger. The initial pandemic-related stoppage only heightened demand once the health concerns were resolved.

Investing in cruise line stocks was a great call in 2023. Shares of Carnival and Royal Caribbean more than doubled. Norwegian -- historically the laggard of the lot -- was up only 64%, but that was obviously more than enough to beat the market.

Momentum on the trading floor has been lost at sea in 2024. Carnival is down 20% through the first four months of the year. Norwegian is now down in a double-digit percentage hole. Royal Caribbean is the only one treading above water, with the stock rising 8% through the end of April. But even that move up fails to reflect the dramatic revisions higher of its near-term prospects.

Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian are all trading at forward earnings multiples in the low teens. They are using their newfound wealth to pay down debt and repurchase shares. Investors feeling they might have missed the boat in last year's rally may want to see whether the ships have returned this year to get them. There is still time to go cruising.

4 Reasons to Buy Carnival Stock Like There's No Tomorrow

O ne of last year's biggest winners has been taking in water this year. Shares of Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) more than doubled last year. The world's largest cruise line operator isn't exactly coasting in 2024, down 23% so far this year.

This doesn't mean that it's not a good time to walk the gangway and board Carnival before the ship starts sailing again. Let's go over some of the reasons why right now could be a good time to warm up to the top player in watery adventures. Bon voyage.

1. Folks are cruising again

Most of Carnival's slide this year happened after it posted mixed financial results late last month. The shares did inch higher the day after the company announced its fiscal first-quarter results four weeks ago, only to slide 17% after the initial move up.

It was a solid report. Revenue rose 22% to $5.4 billion, narrowly missing Wall Street's top-line target. The big takeaway from the report should've been positive. It was a period of record revenue. Carnival finally hurdled its previous pre-pandemic peak for the fiscal first quarter.

It's not just revenue that's at a high-water mark. Carnival's outlook is even better. Demand is partying on the lido deck. Its booked position for the balance of this young fiscal year is its best on record in any year at this point. Carnival expects net yields -- basically revenue per available cruise day without some variable expenses like travel agent commissions and subsidized air transportation -- to rise another 10% this year.

2. The bottom-line beats keep coming

The news is even better on the other end of the income statement. Carnival did post red ink, but it was a smaller loss than analysts were forecasting. Its operating profit was positive -- reversing a deficit from a year earlier -- but interest expense gnawed its way into the seasonally sleepy quarter.

This isn't the first time that Carnival lands well ahead of what the market was expecting. It's been a perpetual beater since getting its fleet back into operation after the COVID-19-related shutdown. More importantly, the last three quarters have been hammered home with double-digit positive earnings surprises.

Data source: Yahoo! Finance. EPS = earnings per share.

3. You may be surprised by the valuation

Carnival may have been profitable in just one quarter over the last four years, but look where the ship is headed. Carnival's guidance last month called for an adjusted profit of $1.28 billion, or $0.98 a share. This finds Carnival trading for just 14 times this year's earnings.

The horizon gets even more snapshot friendly if you look out even longer. Analysts have been jacking up Carnival's fiscal 2025 prospects with every passing quarter. Wall Street pros are now modeling adjusted earnings of $1.42 a share for the next fiscal year that starts in December. Yes, the slide in Carnival's stock this year finds it now fetching just 10 times next fiscal year's profit target.

4. Carnival is tackling its debt problem

Carnival and its peers had to do a lot of things to remain in business during the pandemic shutdown. The industry was unable to access needle-moving government aid given the foreign-flagged nature of its ships sailing in international waters. It had to issue stock at desperately low price points, weighing on its per-share profitability. Its long-term debt would go on to more than triple, peaking at nearly $33 billion a year ago.

Carnival is cutting checks now that cash flow is positive. It paid down its debt by $4 billion in fiscal 2023. It reduced its leverage by another $1.8 billion so far in fiscal 2024. Tackling debt that is about to come up or at the highest rate is going to make things a lot easier for the cruise line giant. Just imagine how easy things will get when rates start to move lower and its improving credit quality gets going.

The prospects are strong for cruise line stocks . Carnival is stronger, smarter, and even cheaper than you probably think.
