What's in the Cards for Royal Caribbean's (RCL) Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Royal Caribbean Group (RCL - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2021 results on Apr 29. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 0.40%.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s first-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of $4.55 per share. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported loss per share of $1.48. The consensus mark for revenues is at $35.8 million, suggesting a decline of 98.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Factors at Play
Royal Caribbean’s first-quarter results are likely to have been adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Notably, cancellations of cruises due to the ongoing crisis and change in booking patterns are likely to get reflected in the company’s results for the to-be-reported quarter. Moreover, dismal passenger ticket revenues on account of the company’s limited cruise operations as well as lower onboard and other revenues are likely to get reflected in first-quarter top line.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for passenger ticket revenues and onboard and other revenues is currently pegged at $25.8 million and $18.2 million, respectively, indicating a decline of 98.1% and 97.2% from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
Moreover, quarterly earnings are likely to have been negatively impacted by cash burn. The company estimates cash burn between $250 million to $290 million per month for the quarter. This includes ongoing ship operating expenses, administrative expenses, debt service, hedging costs and anticipated necessary CapEx.
However, phased resumption of operations coupled with Lift & Shift and Future Cruise Credit programs is likely to have aided the company in the to-be-reported quarter. This along with easing of travel restrictions along with the pace of the distribution of vaccines are likely to have influenced the pace of recovery in the first quarter.

Time to Invest in Legal Marijuana
If you’re looking for big gains, there couldn’t be a better time to get in on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion back in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.
After a clean sweep of 6 election referendums in 5 states, pot is now legal in 36 states plus D.C. Federal legalization is expected soon and that could be a still greater bonanza for investors. Even before the latest wave of legalization, Zacks Investment Research has recommended pot stocks that have shot up as high as +285.9%
