Redburn Atlantic analyst Alex Brignall upgrades shares of Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings to Buy from Neutral.

Shares of Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line rose Thursday after an analyst from Redburn Atlantic upgraded shares of the cruise lines saying that pandemic woes have come to an end.

Inflation has been rising, interest rates are high and recession concerns loom. Consumer sentiment has taken a hit as shoppers see the hit to their wallets. But that hasn’t stopped people from going on vacation. The pent-up desire to travel following Covid-19 lockdowns has been driving tourism demand.

“From 2020 to 2022, they [cruise lines] suffered losses equivalent to 80% of their pre-pandemic market capitalisation,” Brignall wrote in a research note. “Today, with debt falling and profitability improving, the sector has exited intensive care and the fundamental investment case is becoming clearer.”

“Cruise lines benefit from an almost exclusively international workforce. This labor mix, as well as the lower overall personnel cost, has limited the impact of severe wage inflation in the U.S., which has been very high in the travel sector,” he said.
