Norwegian Cruise (NCLH) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2020 results on May 14. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 4.3%.
Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter is pegged at a loss of 52 cents, against earnings of 83 cents in the prior-year quarter. In the past 30 days, estimates for current quarter have witnessed sharp downward revisions. The same for revenues stands at $1,278 million, suggesting a decline of 8.9% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
Decline in passenger ticket, and onboard and other revenues are anticipated to get reflected in the first-quarter results. Both the metrics might have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Travel warnings and cruise cancellations may have hurt the performance in the quarter to be reported.
Moreover, cash burn due to the coronavirus-induced shutdowns is likely to have impacted the company’s to-be-reported quarter’s revenues. The company’s first-quarter results are likely to reflect increase in fuel costs and net cruise costs, and Trump’s travel ban to Cuba. Additionally, the company may have been exposed to foreign- exchange related risks as it operates globally.

Stocks Poised to Beat Earnings Estimates

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (TTWO - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +13.24% and a Zacks Rank #3.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce ""the world's first trillionaires,"" but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
