Cruise Line Stocks & Deleveraging
b'"I expect Europe disruption to continue to weigh on the Carnival (CCL) stock given the premium mix contribution. With the restart almost complete, deleveraging will be the key focus now," says Paul Golding. Macquarie Group has an outperform rating on the NCLH, CCL, and RCL cruise line stocks. "High debt load at higher interest rates will cause interest expense to eat into profits of the cruise line stocks. Higher commodity prices, particularly in energy, could affect profitability," says Lee Bohl.'
