Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line to See Lower Net Yields in H2 Due to Iran Conflict, Morgan Stanley Says

Royal Caribbean (RCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) are poised to see lower net yields in H2 on account of bookings weakness owing to the ongoing Iran conflict, Morgan Stanley said in a Wednesday research note.Morgan Stanley estimated a modest net yield beat in Q2 for Royal Caribbean, but lowered its estimates for Q3 and Q4 to 0.5% from 1% and to 4% from 4.5%, respectively. For Norwegian Cruise Line, Morgan Stanley said that the company's 400 basis point reduction to 2026 net yield guidance was "appropriately conservative," but lowered its estimate for Q4.Additionally, Morgan Stanley said that travel backdrop continues to remain "solid", as evidenced by Bank of America card spending on cruises rising to 9.8% in June from 8.4% in May, with airline and hotel data spend showing strongest growth rates in over a year.Viking (VIK) appears to be a standout, with the company more than 92% booked for 2026 making it largely immune from demand volatility, according to the note. Morgan Stanley estimated net yields of 5.6% and EBITDA of $714 million for Q2.Morgan Stanley maintained its neutral rating on Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line with price target of $310 and $22, respectively.

Royal Caribbean Faces Q3 Booking Downside Despite Solid Q2 Outlook, UBS Says

Royal Caribbean (RCL) is on track for a solid Q2, but Q3 bookings face downside risk, while Perfect Day Mexico is delayed but still expected to proceed, UBS said in a note Thursday.The analysts said the company is expected to report a fairly booked Q2, as its previous guidance likely did not account for a prolonged geopolitical conflict or its impact on bookings. They added that they continue to forecast flat Q3 yields in constant currency, compared with consensus expectations for nearly 1% growth, which they believe face downside risk.Royal Caribbean has increased its reliance on European demand after March, but recent geopolitical uncertainty has impacted European bookings more heavily than in the past, the analysts said, adding that they maintain their 1.6% full-year yield forecast, which is below consensus and may not fully reflect the latest booking trends.The analysts said the company's Perfect Day Mexico project is likely delayed to late 2027, with ramp-up in early 2028, but they believe it will still move forward.UBS has a buy rating and a $309 price target on Royal Caribbean.Price: $295.99, Change: $-10.32, Percent Change: -3.37%

Royal Caribbean Faces Reduction in 2028 EPS After Mexico Rejects Perfect Day Project, Morgan Stanley Says

Royal Caribbean (RCL) is facing a reduction in earnings for 2028 and beyond following Mexico's decision to deny an environmental permit to the company's Perfect Day Mexico project, Morgan Stanley said in a Friday note.Morgan Stanley said it reduced its 2028 EPS growth estimate to 12% from 20%, and its 2025 to 2030 EPS compound annual growth rate to 13% from 15%.The company was expecting significant earnings gains beginning in 2028 from the proposed 200-acre Perfect Day development at Costa Maya in Quintana Roo, Morgan Stanley said, adding it had assumed 3 million passengers in 2028 rising to 5 million by 2030, each spending around $100 and boosting fleet ticket prices in the high single digits.Looking ahead, the company has two plausible paths to recovery, namely a revised environmental application that satisfies the government's concerns or finding an alternative less ecologically sensitive location, according to the note. Either would mean significant delays, the analysts said.Morgan Stanley lowered its Royal Caribbean price target to $280 from $310 and maintained its equal-weight rating.Price: $265.51, Change: $+9.41, Percent Change: +3.67%

Royal Caribbean to Reassess Mexico Investment After Water Park Rejected

Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) plans to review its prospects for investment in Mexico after authorities rejected a water park project on the country's Mexico's Caribbean coast over environmental concerns."We will re-engage stakeholders to move forward in a way that delivers shared prosperity through the development of essential environmental infrastructure, the creation of thousands of local jobs, and community programs that support the people of Mexico," the company said Wednesday in an emailed statement to.Reuters reported Tuesday that the project had been vetoed by the government, citing Alicia Barcena, the country's environment minister, at a press conference.Scheduled to open in fall 2027 in Mahahual, a beach town near a coral reef, the Perfect Day Mexico project included beach clubs, pools, bars and more than 30 waterslides, the report said.Royan Caribbean said it was disappointed by the government's decision but respects the role of Mexico's environmental authorities. "We continue to believe in Mexico and are optimistic in the potential to advance our investment responsibly," the company said.Price: $244.40, Change: $-2.80, Percent Change: -1.13%

Research Alert: Rcl: Mexico Setback Threatens Key Growth Catalyst; Maintaining Hold Opinion

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Shares of RCL have fallen 9% WTD following reports that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected the company's 'Perfect Day Mexico' project in Quintana Roo, citing environmental concerns. The news is particularly troubling given management's Q1 commentary suggesting ecological concerns had been resolved and construction of the roughly $1B project had resumed. Management projected 90% of Caribbean guests would visit a private destination by 2027, up from 70% currently. Perfect Day Mexico was central to this target and critical for capturing the high-growth Texas drive-to-cruise market. The rejection creates multiple risks, including unrecoverable sunk costs, the 90% penetration target now in jeopardy, and elevated risk for Royal Beach Club Cozumel, being in the same region. We maintain Hold as the 9% sell-off reflects the immediate bad news and current demand remains strong otherwise. However, we lower our price target by $28 to $262 (12x 2026E EBITDA, down from 13x) to account for increased execution risk.

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd To Hold From Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $97 to $290, based on a 13x 2026 EV/EBITDA multiple (from 16x), a discount to shares' 15x three-year average forward average multiple, reflecting risks to earnings growth stemming from elevated fuel costs. We lower our 2026 EPS estimate to $17.42 from $18.18 and 2027's to $19.92 from $20.40. Following Q1 results, we are downgrading our opinion to Hold from Buy. Our revised opinion reflects our view on elevated fuel costs, which are expected to increase 2026 fuel expenses by $200M compared to RCL's prior guidance in February. Furthermore, geopolitical disruptions moderated booking demand for high-yield Mediterranean and West Coast Mexico itineraries, suggesting potential for net yield growth to disappoint in Q2 and Q3. Although shares are already trading below their three-year averages, we think the setup is for earnings upside has become less favorable. This is balanced by still strong demand trends and ongoing net yield growth in Q1, suggesting demand remains resilient.

Research Alert: Rcl: Strong Q1 Beat On Demand Strength; Lowers Full-year Guidance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:RCL reported Q1 adjusted EPS of $3.60, up 33% Y/Y and significantly beating the $3.20 consensus estimate. Total revenue of $4.45B, up 11%, was in line with consensus, while onboard revenue surged 14% and net yields grew 2% excluding currency effects. In our view, the strong onboard spending result signals consumer willingness to spend and reflects RCL's effective push to capture destination spending through private island destinations and targeted marketing. Management lowered 2026 adjusted EPS guidance this quarter to $17.10-$17.50, from $17.70-$18.10, citing higher fuel costs and geopolitical impacts. We believe the 300bps expansion in adjusted EBITDA margins to 38% showcases the operational leverage inherent in the business model, with net cruise costs excluding fuel rising only 0.6% in constant currency. The company's strong balance sheet with $6.9B liquidity and $1.1B returned to shareholders this quarter demonstrates its continued ability to invest in growth while rewarding shareholders.
