The Norwegian Pearl cruise ship is seen docked at Miami port, after Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd cancelled sailings amid rising fears of Omicron-related coronavirus infections, in Miami, Florida, U.S. January 5, 2022. Rival Royal Caribbean (RCL.N) last week forecast an upbeat third-quarter profit as well as lifted its annual profit expectations. Norwegian Cruise forecast its annual adjusted EBITDA, a key measure of profitability, between $1.85 billion and $1.95 billion, up from $1.80 billion to $1.95 billion previously. Despite undertaking price hikes on its itineraries, Norwegian Cruise has been bogged down by inflation and higher labor costs. Rival Carnival (CCL.N) has also forecast third-quarter profit below estimates on higher costs.

The growth in bookings is largely driven by pent-up demand from loyal customers returning to taking summer vacations and other leisure travel, said the analysts. JPMorgan upgraded Carnival shares to "overweight", while Bank of America raised its rating on the stock to "buy", and the analysts raised their price targets on all the three cruise companies. Carnival shares rose 14% to a more than 1-year high in early trading on Monday while Norwegian Cruise gained nearly 8%. The S&P 500 Hotels Resorts & Cruise Lines Sub-Industry Index was up 0.9% led by gains in cruise stocks. Commercial airline shares were also making gains on Monday amid falling crude oil prices and growth in demand for seats.

☆ Recession talk tapers off on latest quarterly conference calls

May 2 (Reuters) - While Wall Street frets that the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes will tip the U.S. economy into a recession, discussions on recent quarterly conference calls hint that corporations and analysts have become a bit less concerned. Reports for the first quarter broadly point to shrinking profits for the U.S.' largest companies but less than analysts feared. Reuters GraphicsDiscussion about economic downturns appears to have been relatively limited on recent quarterly analyst conference calls. Terms related to "recession" have been mentioned on 41% of conference calls held in recent weeks by companies in the S&P 500. That compares to 535 mentions on analyst calls for the entirety of the previous quarterly reporting season, equivalent to 1.1 mentions per call.

The biggest week of this earnings season showed us that things aren't as bad as many feared. The week ahead of earnings, including several more Club names, should tell us more. The results are always important, but it's the guidance and management commentary we will really hone in on to better understand the path ahead. In Amazon's case, a solid first quarter for its AWS cloud business was overshadowed by management seeing a material slowdown in April.

Four major cruise lines say they will appeal a recent ruling that would force them to pay roughly $436 million in total damages to a company that owned a port terminal in Havana prior to the Cuban Revolution. The ruling in favor of Havana Docks Corp., owner of the Havana Cruise Port Terminal before the Cuban revolution, marked an important milestone for Cuban-Americans seeking compensation for property confiscated by the Castro regime.

Американский круизный оператор Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. сообщил, что направил письмо в Центр по контролю и профилактике заболеваний США (Centers for Diseas Control and Prevention, CDC) с планом по возобновлению морских круизов из портов США с 4 июля. Компания собирается обслуживать только пассажиров, привившихся от коронавируса, а также проведет обязательную вакцинацию экипажей. В Norwegian рассчитывают, что требование обязательной вакцинации устранит необходимость в выполнении комплекса обязательных условий, утвержденных CDC для выхода в море, в том числе тестовые круизы для получения сертификата с разрешением проводить круизы в условиях пандемии. Как и другие крупные круизные компании, Norwegian, которая приостановила круизные операции до конца июня, не выполняла рейсов на территории США с начала вспышки коронавируса в прошлом году. Norwegian Cruise Line базируется в Майами и управляет тремя брендами - Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises и Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
