Do Royal Caribbean Cruises' (NYSE:RCL) Earnings Warrant Your Attention?

01-10

As a fresh man in a US college I would invest in Facebook as we were the first few who used the social media platform, Amazon as we shopped on it, Netflix as we streamed videos. So many obvious signals as end users. But life is about the now and not the whats ifs?

$MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ Should we sell now? I bought some at $1380 before the stock spilt. Sold some after, and bought at a higher price which is why it's now $185. Thoughts anyone? Appreciate it!

Thanks for sharing! Did you know shareholders also get cruise credits on the cruise they are sailing on? It's a win-win to support your favourite cruise line and also get usable credits! :)

In Q1, Royal Caribbean reported $3.7 billion in revenue, a 29% yearly surge.

As a result, we'll zoom in on growth over the last year, instead. In impressive fashion, Royal Caribbean Cruises' EPS grew from US$3.60 to US$9.68, over the previous 12 months. Year on year growth of 169% is certainly a sight to behold. </p>\n<p> One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing.

But we do take comfort from the fact that they are investors in the company. We note that their impressive stake in the company is worth US$216m. This comes in at 0.4% of shares in the company, which is a fair amount of a business of this size. This still shows shareholders there is a degree of alignment between management and themselves. </p>\n<h2> Is Royal Caribbean Cruises Worth Keeping An Eye On? </h2>\n<p> Royal Caribbean Cruises' earnings per share have been soaring, with growth rates sky high. This level of EPS growth does wonders for attracting investment, and the large insider investment in the company is just the cherry on top. At times fast EPS growth is a sign the business has reached an inflection point, so there's a potential opportunity to be had here. So at the surface level, Royal Caribbean Cruises is worth putting on your watchlist; after all, shareholders do well when the market underestimates fast growing companies. You should always think about risks though. Case in point, we've spotted  <strong> 2 warning signs for Royal Caribbean Cruises</strong>  you should be aware of, and 1 of them is a bit unpleasant. </p>\n<p> There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that <em>are not</em> growing earnings and <em>do not</em> have insiders buying shares.
