Shares of cruise companies are trading higher. The industry may be moving on continued strength after recent fears surrounding Hurricane Milton have curbed and fuel costs, which are a major expense for cruises, dropped in price.

Oil prices took a sharp dive on Tuesday, tumbling over 5% in morning trading in New York, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East slightly eased after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly pledged that Iran's crude oil infrastructure would be spared from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41321699/oil-prices-drop-after-netanyahu-says-israel-will-attack-military-not-oil-or-nuclear-targets-in-iran">any potential retaliatory strikes. </a>
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, the U.S. benchmark, tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), nosedived to $70 per barrel, down more than 5% as of 10 a.m. ET. This marks the steepest one-day decline in over a year.
The selloff followed a Monday report from The Washington Post that said that Netanyahu assured the Biden administration that Israel would avoid targeting Iranian oil and nuclear facilities in any retaliatory military actions.
The assurance suggested a narrower scope of potential conflict, reducing fears of widespread supply shocks in the global oil market.
Market analysts had previously warned that an Israeli strike on Iran&#8217;s oil infrastructure could send crude prices skyrocketing by $20 per barrel, highlighting concerns that Tehran would retaliate by attacking oil installations throughout the Gulf region, potentially triggering a broader energy crisis.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Sector Tanks: US Oil Giants Lead Declines</h3>
The immediate reaction in the markets was swift: U.S. energy stocks plunged, while airlines and cruise lines — typically sensitive to fuel prices — enjoyed a sharp relief rally.
The energy sector was one of the biggest losers on the day. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), which tracks major U.S. energy companies, slid 2.8%, setting up for its worst day since late April.

Downstream oil service providers also struggled, with the VanEck Oil Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OIH#NYSE">OIH</a>) dropping 3.6%. Major oilfield services companies like Schlumberger N.V.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Airlines And Cruise Lines Rally: Lower Fuel Costs, Strong Earnings Expectations Lift Sentiment</h3>
While energy stocks suffered, sectors reliant on cheaper fuel prices thrived. Airlines and cruise lines, in particular, were among the best performers within the S&amp;P 500 as the prospect of lower oil prices offered some relief.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) surged 4.3%, while Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) jumped 5.3%.

Oil Prices Take Largest Plunge In Over A Year As Israel Vows To Spare Iranian Facilities: Energy Stocks Sink, Airlines, Cruise Lines Rally

The current bull market has officially hit its two-year milestone, overcoming recession fears, elevated interest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates"> rates, and persistent skepticism.</a>
Since bottoming out on October 12, 2022, the S&amp;P 500 has soared 63%, driven by a resilient economy and impressive corporate earnings. Gains have been further amplified by optimism around productivity and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
Defying all expectations, the S&amp;P 500 is now trading at record highs, solidifying this as one of the most resilient—and surprising—bull markets in history.
&#8220;It is hard to believe that only two years ago the S&amp;P 500 closed at 3,577 as investors feared inflation was entrenched after wholesale inflation data unexpectedly ticked higher that day,&#8221; said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial.
Looking back, this day marked the birth of a bull market—one that has grown against the odds and market skepticism. Quoting legendary investor John Templeton, Turnquist added "Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria."
Veteran market strategist Ed Yardeni has been a vocal proponent of the bull market since its inception. Reflecting on the last two years, Yardeni stated, &#8220;The current bull market started two years ago, and we've loved it from the start, even though it was among the most widely hated bull markets in history.&#8221; 
Many critics expected a recession due to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s tightening cycle, but Yardeni and other bullish analysts remained confident in the economy&#8217;s resilience. As Yardeni points out, "The economy has instead remained highly resilient, which has been our forecast since early 2022."

What's Going On With Carnival Stock Today?

The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.5% during morning trading in New York, reaching a new all-time high by surpassing the 5,770 level, previously touched in late September.
The rally was fueled by a continued decline in oil prices, amid a lack of further escalation in the Middle East conflict and disappointing news regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41227136/chinese-stocks-plunge-as-stimulus-hopes-fade-hong-kong-posts-worst-daily-decline-si">fiscal stimulus from China.</a>
Investors are now focusing on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s next moves, with the minutes from the September meeting set to be released at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
Eight of the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 11 sectors traded in positive territory, with utilities, materials and real estate being the only laggards. Technology and financials led the charge.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average mirrored the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s performance, now trading within 1% of its record high, while small caps outperformed. 
Oil prices, tracked by the United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), dropped another 1%, extending the sharp 5% selloff from Tuesday. The decline in crude prices provided relief to industries heavily reliant on fuel expenses, particularly airlines and cruise operators.
Cruise line stocks rallied as a result, with Norwegian Cruise Lines Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>), Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), and Royal Caribbean Cruise Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) soaring 9.7%, 6.7%, and 4.4%, respectively.
Treasury yields edged higher, with the 10-year yield rising by three basis points to 4.79%. Precious metals softened slightly, with gold eyeing its seventh consecutive session in the red.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained stable, hovering around $62,000.

Shares of travel and hotel-related stocks are trading lower amid heightening geopolitical tensions after a report suggesting Iran could be preparing to attack Israel. This could negatively impact travel demand.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) shares are trading lower by 2.2% to $173.60 during Monday&#8217;s session. Shares of cruise stocks are trading lower in sympathy with Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), which issued guidance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41095980/carnival-q3-earnings-15-topline-growth-record-operating-income-guidance-boost-and-more">below estimates</a>.
What Happened: Royal Caribbean saw its stock decline on Monday following the release of Carnival&#8217;s third-quarter earnings, despite Carnival reporting better-than-expected results. 
Carnival&#8217;s earnings report highlighted a strong quarter, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.27, surpassing analyst expectations of $1.16, and quarterly sales of $7.90 billion, up 15.2% year-over-year. 
Despite these positive figures, the market's focus shifted to Carnival's weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter guidance, which raised concerns about the broader cruise industry, leading to declines in Royal Caribbean&#8217;s stock.

Royal Caribbean, as one of the largest cruise operators in the world, often moves in tandem with its major competitors like Carnival. With Carnival projecting fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of just 5 cents—significantly below analyst estimates of $1.16—investors became wary of broader industry challenges heading into the traditionally slower winter season. 
Carnival's cautious outlook for the coming quarter, despite solid bookings and liquidity, suggests that the cruise industry may face lingering pressures, including rising operating costs, fuel price volatility, and economic uncertainty that could weigh on profitability.
What Else: Royal Caribbean has been riding a wave of post-pandemic recovery, with demand for cruises rebounding sharply as consumers sought leisure travel after years of restrictions. The company, known for its luxury and innovative cruise offerings, such as the world's largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, has seen strong bookings and record demand for 2024 sailings. 
However, the news from Carnival indicated that despite high occupancy levels and solid forward bookings, near-term earnings could be pressured by rising expenses, such as fuel costs and inflationary pressures on labor and supply chains.
Royal Caribbean&#8217;s stock has benefited from a booming travel industry, with many analysts expecting continued strength in consumer demand for cruises. However, the lower-than-expected earnings guidance from Carnival cast a shadow over these expectations, prompting fears that Royal Caribbean may also face margin compression in the final quarter of 2024. 
Investors appear to be anticipating that similar cost challenges could affect Royal Caribbean&#8217;s upcoming earnings, given that both companies operate in the same competitive and cost-sensitive industry.

<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 Group&#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 <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RCL has a 52-week high of $184.41 and a 52-week low of $78.35.

Why Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) Shares Are Falling

Shares of cruise stocks are trading lower in sympathy with Carnival, which issued guidance below estimates.

Vail Resorts (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mtn#NYSE">MTN</a>) came out with a quarterly loss of $4.67 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $4.28. This compares to loss of $3.35 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -9.11%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this ski resort operator would post earnings of $9.94 per share when it actually produced earnings of $9.54, delivering a surprise of -4.02%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.
Vail Resorts, which belongs to the Zacks Leisure and Recreation Services industry, posted revenues of $265.39 million for the quarter ended July 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.14%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $269.77 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Vail Resorts shares have lost about 14.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 20%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for Vail Resorts?</h2>
While Vail Resorts has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Vail Resorts: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$4.82 on $258.79 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $8.33 on $3.02 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Leisure and Recreation Services is currently in the top 29% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Royal Caribbean (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rcl#NYSE">RCL</a>), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2024.
This cruise operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $5.02 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +30.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.1% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
Royal Caribbean&#39;s revenues are expected to be $4.84 billion, up 16.3% from the year-ago quarter.
