it is time now to spotlight the crews
[2]
industry because the three major lines
[5]
are down in a big way down 45 percent
[8]
this year down 60 percent in the last
[10]
one year ivan finds us with us senior
[12]
partner chief investment officer
[14]
director of research at tigers financial
[16]
partners and you think that this group
[18]
is oversold
[21]
too much to the downside so you're not
[23]
listening to the fact that um you know
[26]
others are worried about dead and zero
[28]
case scenarios
[31]
uh well the industry no industry has
[34]
been hurt more by the pandemic than the
[36]
cruise industry but i believe no
[37]
industry will have proven to be more
[39]
resilient i mean this industry went
[41]
through almost a year and a half with no
[43]
revenue now they are ramping up and a
[46]
lot of them will be running it almost
[48]
full capacity the ships i'm sorry will
[50]
be have the full fleets operational
[53]
by the
[54]
middle of the summer and there's huge
[57]
demand pent-up demand for travel and for
[59]
cruise vacations so i think that you
[62]
could see
[63]
the industry and all four all three of
[66]
the publicly traded cruise lines trade
[68]
at
[69]
um excuse me have a revenue level
[71]
returning to its peak levels of in
[74]
exceeding 2019.
[77]
yeah so you know one of the concerns was
[79]
weaker occupancies
[81]
and pricing um you know maybe that's
[84]
also to do with
[86]
you had a resurgence in covid you have
[88]
inflation running so hot that maybe
[90]
people are pinching their wallet a
[92]
little bit do you think that once the
[93]
fed raises rates a little bit and
[95]
there's less inflationary pressure
[98]
people will go back to the cruise lines
[100]
or they're just not missing out you
[101]
think they're just going to hit it
[104]
no i i i think first of all
[106]
no vacation offers you a better value
[109]
than a cruise vacation for your travel
[111]
dollar
[112]
so
[113]
there is some inflation resistance there
[115]
you get lodging entertainment food
[119]
the opportunity to visit different
[121]
cities so as far as value the cruise
[123]
industry offers the best value and
[125]
there's the consumer has never been more
[128]
flushed there is over two and a half
[129]
trillion dollars in excess savings on
[132]
consumers balance sheet and consumers
[134]
have less debt than they do today than
[136]
they did prior to the pandemic in 2019.
[139]
so the consumer is in better shape the
[142]
industry is in better shape they put all
[144]
kinds of protocols in place to for safe
[146]
travel and to handle any issue if there
[149]
is a resurgence in uh covert 19
[151]
breakouts so i think you have
[154]
uh an opportunity to
[156]
participate and get in on stocks that
[159]
are just unbelievably oversold
[162]
that all three are well capitalized and
[164]
i think my number one pick is norwegian
[167]
it has the youngest fleet it's going to
[170]
increase their fleet more than 50
[172]
percent from 2019 with new ships new
[175]
ships drive the biggest demand everybody
[177]
wants to go on the newest ships the new
[179]
ships are more fuel efficient and
[181]
cheaper to operate they offer more
[183]
amenities and new features
[185]
so i think that
[187]
you will see a tremendous rebound over
[189]
the next year in the shares of the crew
[191]
of stocks and norwegian remains my
[193]
number one pick
[195]
i love this i love this discussion
[197]
because it really is an optimistic one
[199]
and we've seen a lot of people getting
[201]
in and out of these names throughout
[203]
this last since the pandemic began i
[205]
mean these are heavily traded stocks one
[208]
way or the other so with the norwegian
[210]
for example at 10.88 cents a share how
[214]
quickly because basically they're all at
[215]
52 week lows there was so much
[217]
excitement about this group right at one
[219]
point but now worries so how quickly can
[223]
it turn around and start to move to you
[225]
know 20 bucks 30 bucks
[229]
well it's hard to say what the timing
[231]
will be because i mean we're all looking
[233]
for a bottom in the market and there's
[235]
just a lot of uh headwinds right now but
[239]
i think for patient and long-term
[240]
investors you got to be buying these
[242]
stocks here and my number one pick is
[244]
norwegian number two is royal then
[246]
followed by carnival
[248]
and i think that for patient investors
[250]
they will be well rewarded
[253]
right and you said even um that you feel
[255]
that they have strong pricing and that
[258]
this the spending that people are doing
[260]
on board is good enough right with
[263]
occupancy increases are you feeling the
[266]
same way about hotels or airlines
[271]
well yes because we still have this
[273]
huge pent-up demand for travel and
[276]
consumers shifting back to before the
[278]
pandemic consumers were spending on
[279]
experiences and travel during the
[281]
pandemic when everybody was in lockdown
[283]
consumers were spending on home
[285]
furnishings and when you were sheltering
[286]
in place they were fixing up their
[288]
places and it shifted back
[290]
now the consumers can go out and travel
[293]
they are doing that
[294]
the ceo of hilton said uh last month
[297]
that
[297]
hilton is
[299]
booked in its highest level in the 104
[302]
year history of the company
[305]
and at ver at probably highest average
[308]
uh room rates so
[310]
people will tell you anytime you go to
[312]
book a flight or book a hotel everybody
[314]
is shocked about what it costs but
[316]
people are still doing it because they
[319]
they've been waiting so long and been
[322]
saving for so long to go on a vacation
[324]
that they want to go
[326]
and they want to go and so less worried
[328]
as you said people have less debt than
[330]
they did pre pandemic so even if they're
[333]
digging into the savings or using the
[334]
credit cards they're still feeling
[336]
better than before so what's the final
[338]
takeaway on the market overall i mean
[340]
when we see the s p today at 37.81 are
[344]
you thinking that the entire market is
[346]
oversold as well ivan
[349]
yes i do i think first of all the market
[352]
has been oversold
[354]
on this over fear of inflation and this
[357]
fear of a recession that i don't think
[360]
will materialize or to lease the the
[362]
fear that it will materialize i mean
[364]
first we've gotta the biggest issue
[366]
right now is oil prices i mean the the
[369]
price of gasoline is taking its toll on
[371]
the consumer and even if it's not on
[374]
their pocketbook it's certainly on their
[375]
mindset right now about spending so we
[378]
need some some pullback in oil prices
[381]
and i think we are starting to see that
[382]
that's a positive
[384]
but i think that
[386]
the
[387]
commodity prices oil prices and what has
[390]
the fed has done so far and the
[392]
tremendous increase in rates across the
[394]
treasury yield curve i believe has done
[397]
a lot of the work in slowing or will
[399]
slow down the economy and the fed will
[401]
not have to be as aggressive as a lot of
[403]
people feel
[405]
and i i don't think we will get to a
[407]
three and a half percent fed funds rate
[408]
by the end of the year
[410]
i think we won't even break three
[412]
percent i think the fed
[414]
may go to two and a half to two and
[415]
three quarters and then
[418]
probably stay there for a while or even
[420]
back off a tiny bit
[422]
right so a pause or even back off a tiny
[425]
bit so that they won't need to be as
[427]
aggressive as they seem because right
[429]
now they're front loading no doubt ivan
[431]
feinstein nice to speak with you so
[433]
saying that these cruise lines are
[434]
oversold you had norwegian royal
[437]
