Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, read the full report on Royal Caribbean Cruises here.
Good value with proven track record
Over the past few years, RCL has demonstrated a proven ability to generate robust returns of 7.5% Unsurprisingly, RCL surpassed the industry return of 6.4%, which gives us more confidence of the company's capacity to drive earnings going forward. RCL is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. This mispricing gives investors the opportunity to buy into the stock at a cheap price compared to the value they will be receiving, should analysts' consensus forecast growth be correct. Compared to the rest of the hospitality industry, RCL is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that RCL is potentially undervalued.
