A Closer Look at Royal Caribbean Gr's Options Market Dynamics

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) shares hit a new all-time high of $238.10 Wednesday morning. The stock has now gained some 16% in November following Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">presidential election win</a>, as investors anticipate a favorable economic environment that could boost consumer spending and tourism. 
Trump's proposed tax cuts and business-friendly policies are viewed as potential catalysts for disposable income growth, especially among middle- and upper-income households, which make up a significant portion of Royal Caribbean's customer base. 
With more money in consumers' pockets, demand for travel and leisure experiences like cruises could rise, potentially translating into higher bookings and revenue for the cruise line.

What To Know: Trump's stance on reducing regulatory restrictions could directly benefit Royal Caribbean's operating model. During his previous term, Trump's administration took steps to streamline regulations on industries including tourism and transportation, and a similar approach now could reduce compliance costs for cruise operators. 
This regulatory relief could help Royal Caribbean expand routes, add new destinations, and potentially reduce environmental compliance costs, thereby improving profitability.
Royal Caribbean also stands to benefit from any stimulus measures aimed at supporting the broader travel and leisure industry, which has faced substantial challenges over the past few years. With a strong recovery in demand already underway, additional government support could help Royal Caribbean further accelerate its post-pandemic rebound.
There are also risks tied to Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs and trade policies, which could impact Royal Caribbean's supply chain costs for goods sourced internationally to stock its ships and outfit new builds. 
Additionally, a stronger U.S. dollar, which may result from Trump's economic agenda, could make international travel more expensive for non-U.S. customers, potentially dampening demand from key international markets.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RCL Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Royal Caribbean Group &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of Royal Caribbean Group, which is trading at $237.4 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.42 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RCL has a 52-week high of $238.10 and a 52-week low of $100.50.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) shares are trading higher by 3.82% to $233.87 Monday afternoon. Tigress Financial maintained its Buy rating on the stock and raised its price target from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RCL/earnings">$210 to $270 a share</a>.
The stock has surged to a new all-time high following Donald Trump's victory in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 U.S. presidential election</a>, signaling investor optimism about the company&#8217;s prospects under the newly-elected Republican administration. 
What To Know: Trump's proposed economic policies, including tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks, could be seen as a boon for large corporations like Royal Caribbean, which stands to benefit from a more business-friendly environment.
One of the key factors boosting RCL is Trump&#8217;s promise to extend corporate tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which would reduce corporate tax rates and increase profits for major companies.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41886430/small-caps-financials-rally-as-bitcoin-blasts-past-85000-whats-driving-markets-monday">Small Caps, Financials Rally As Bitcoin Blasts Past $85,000: What&#8217;s Driving Markets Monday?</a>
These tax cuts would likely provide Royal Caribbean with greater flexibility in managing its costs, particularly as the cruise industry continues to recover post-pandemic. 
Additionally, Trump's more relaxed regulatory approach, especially in the areas of environmental and safety standards, could reduce operational hurdles for the cruise line.
Furthermore, Trump's economic policies are expected to stimulate consumer spending, especially in the travel and tourism sectors, which directly benefits Royal Caribbean.
His push for deregulation and the potential revival of consumer confidence under a Republican-controlled government could boost discretionary spending, driving demand for luxury travel experiences, including cruises.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RCL Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Royal Caribbean&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RCL has a 52-week high of $234.17 and a 52-week low of $93.80.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41601688/royal-caribbean-eyes-14-eps-in-2025-amid-cruise-demand-and-expanded-destinations">upbeat earnings for the third quarter</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Royal Caribbean Cruises</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/647713f84d196600013124ad/lizzie-dove">Analyst Lizzie Dove</a> maintained a Buy rating while raising the price target from $220 to $245.
Royal Caribbean Cruises' net yields came in below investor expectations and the implied decline in the fourth quarter was an initial disappointment, Dove said in a note. 
She added that the fourth-quarter net yield guidance of 5.3%-5.8% includes a headwind of around 40 basis points (bps) from Hurricane Milton and "several bps headwind from the canceled Icon itinerary."
The focus during the company's earnings release was on 2025 and beyond, "as investors looked through the 4Q guidance which came in a touch light, and 3Q results which were also a little lower than investor expectations," the analyst stated. 
Management guided to 2025 adjusted earnings of $14 per share, which was "just a starting point and "does not factor in several drivers of upside including, notably, buybacks," she added.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Truist Securities On Royal Caribbean Cruises</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59e8ba80efacff0001417468/patrick-scholes">Analyst Patrick Scholes</a> reiterated a Hold rating and price target of $204.
Royal Caribbean Cruises delivered "a sizable earnings beat," but this was expected, given the company's track record over the past year, Scholes said. The earnings upside was driven by costs, rather than revenues and the growth rate of commission expense was again significantly below growth in passenger ticket revenue, he added.
Although the company outperformed its third-quarter earnings guidance by 25 cents per share, it raised the full-year guidance by only 19.5 cents per share, the analyst stated. The fourth-quarter earnings guidance of $1.40-$1.45 per share missed consensus expectations of $1.58 and came in slightly below the previous implied guide of $1.47 per share, he further mentioned.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday. The company reported mixed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41601688/royal-caribbean-eyes-14-eps-in-2025-amid-cruise-demand-and-expanded-destinations" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter results today</a>.
Revenue grew 17.5% year-over-year to $4.89 billion,&nbsp;missing the consensus of $4.90 billion, while adjusted EPS of $5.20&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41601688/royal-caribbean-eyes-14-eps-in-2025-amid-cruise-demand-and-expanded-destinations" rel="noreferrer noopener">was above the consensus of $5.03</a>.
The company sees fourth-quarter net yields increase 5.1% to 5.6% in constant currency. RCL sees adjusted EPS of $1.40 – $1.45 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">against the estimate of $2.28</a>.
Goldman Sachs analyst Lizzie Dove writes that looking ahead, the primary disappointment is expected to be in the fourth-quarter guidance, with reported net yield growth projected at 5.3% to 5.8%, slightly below our expectation of 5.9%.
This forecast already considers the impact of Hurricane Milton, estimated at approximately 40 basis points, which would adjust the midpoint to 5.95%, added the analyst.
Additionally, Dove anticipates a greater emphasis on costs, as the fourth-quarter guidance of 7.8% to 8.3% year-over-year (reported) exceeds Goldman Sachs and Street estimates of 5.6% to 5.8%.
The analyst says that the fourth-quarter adjusted EPS guidance incorporates $0.24 of headwinds—one-third from Hurricane Milton and two-thirds due to the timing of cost shifts from the third quarter and increased non-cash stock compensation.
Adjusting for the timing shift in costs from third-quarter diminishes the EPS beat, which may not meet investor expectations, adds the analyst.
However, Dove says that the fundamentals remain robust, with demand and pricing conditions improving since the last earnings call and strong demand anticipated for 2025.
The analyst anticipates that long-term estimates for the Street to rise as a result, with current 2025 EPS estimated at $14.04 and the Street&#8217;s at $13.70.
Investors can gain access to the stock via&nbsp;Defiance Hotel, Airline, and Cruise ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRUZ#NYSE">CRUZ</a>) and&nbsp;Invesco Leisure and Entertainment ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEJ#NYSE">PEJ</a>).

Royal Caribbean's Q3 EPS Beats, But Goldman Sachs Cautions On Rising Q4 Costs And EPS Impact

Wall Street took a breather on Tuesday, with most major indices treading water, while tech stocks saw gains as investors braced for earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41579487/amd-q3-earnings-preview-can-ai-server-gains-help-narrow-the-semiconductor-gap-with-">reports from mega-cap companies.</a>
The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.7%, buoyed by anticipation around upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), both set to report after market close.
Elsewhere, the S&amp;P 500 was largely unchanged, the Dow Jones dipped slightly, and small-cap stocks underperformed.
In economic news, U.S. job openings dropped by 418,000 to 7.443 million in September 2024 — marking the lowest level since January 2021 and falling short of the market's expectation of 7.99 million.
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index surged, posting its largest monthly gain since March 2021. This suggests that while labor demand may be slowing, consumer sentiment remains robust.
Treasury yields continued to climb during concerns over the U.S. budget deficit and political uncertainty ahead of next week's elections. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 4.33%, the highest level since early July.
Notably, gold prices remained resilient, with the precious metal breaking above the all-time high of $2,770 per ounce as investors sought a hard asset amid fiscal concerns.
The crypto market also saw notable gains. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose nearly 4% to reach $72,700, nearing its record high of $73,697 set in March. Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) continued its momentum with a 10% rally on Tuesday, following an 11% surge on Monday.
