Royal Caribbean Group (RCL)

Executive Summary

We at T&T Capital Management view Royal Caribbean Group as one of the best-run operators in the consumer-discretionary universe and a business that the market, in our view, is now testing rather than rewarding. At $275.24 the stock trades roughly 25 percent below its February 2026 high of $366.50, a drawdown driven not by deteriorating fundamentals but by a fuel-price shock, China-itinerary disruption, and a guidance trim that took 2026 adjusted EPS from a range of $17.70–$18.10 to $17.10–$17.50. The underlying booking curve remains, in management’s own words, the strongest in the company’s history. Royal Caribbean has emerged from the pandemic transformed.
