Jim Cramer on Royal Caribbean: 'Expectations Simply Got Too High'
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:RCL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about. Cramer discussed the company's earnings and the market reaction to it during the episode. He said: 'Today's earnings made me feel like we'd forgotten the impact of all the tariff turmoil on the consumer. Some of the decline, I think, was an overreaction. Royal Caribbean went down on its outlook. But I gotta tell you, I checked that one out. I think the expectations simply got too high. People got used to this cruise line just crushing the high end of the estimates. Didn't happen.' Nonwarit/ Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) is a cruise operator that provides diverse itineraries through multiple brands, including Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea Cruises. In a March episode, Cramer mentioned the company and said: 'What else in travel's worth taking a look at?… It's tough for me to square the heinous action with what we just heard from Jason Liberty, the CEO of Royal Caribbean. When he came on the show last week, first, Liberty confirmed that its… consumers perceive Royal Caribbean cruises as a better value than a land-based vacation, reinforcing my view the cruise lines can still do fine even in a softer economy. Second, he cited its own bookings and on-ship spending data from recent voyages saying matter-of-factly, 'that cash register continues to ring and be consistent.' Since the above comment was made, Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) stock is up over 61%. While we acknowledge the potential of RCL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

First Commonwealth Financial Corp (FCF) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Surpassing ...
Release Date: July 30, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points First Commonwealth Financial Corp (NYSE:FCF) reported core earnings per share of $0.38, surpassing consensus estimates by $0.03. Net interest margin expanded significantly from 3.62% in the first quarter to 3.83% in the second quarter, driven by improved loan yields and lower deposit costs. Strong loan growth of 8.1% annualized, with broad-based performance in equipment finance, small business, commercial, indirect, and branch lending. Non-interest income increased by $2.1 million to $24.7 million, with strong contributions from mortgage, SBA, interchange, wealth, and other service charges. Successful integration of Centerbank, adding $295 million in loans and $278 million in deposits, enhancing presence in Cincinnati. Negative Points Non-performing loans increased by $40.1 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to a single commercial floor plan loan moved to non-accrual. Provision expense was $12.6 million, with $3.8 million tied to day one CSO provision for Center Bank. The cost of deposits fell by only 8 basis points, with increased borrowings by the end of the quarter. Potential pressure on loan spreads and the need to price deposits to fund loan growth could impact future margins. Limited buyback activity in the second quarter, with a cautious approach to share repurchases based on stock price. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with FCF. Q: Did you provide a guidance range for expenses in the third quarter or the back half of the year? A: No specific guidance was given, but the consensus for the third quarter is $72.8 million and $73.1 million for the fourth quarter. There might be a slight tail-off in expenses and non-interest income in the fourth quarter due to seasonality, but they generally offset each other. Expenses are expected to bounce back in the first quarter of next year. - Jim Moreski, CFO Q: What is your approach to stock repurchases given the current stock price and new authorization? A: We plan to re-enter the market after the blackout period, setting a price cap for buybacks. Previously, we set a cap at $15.50 per share, but with the current higher prices, we might set it around $17. We aim to keep some dry powder for dips in the price rather than buying back shares at any cost. - Jim Moreski, CFO Q: Can you provide more color on the loan that drove the increase in non-performing loans (NPLs) and the outlook for charge-offs? A: The increase in NPLs was primarily due to a single commercial floor plan loan. Charge-offs have been at acceptable levels, and absent the one large relationship, we expect to return to a mid-20 basis point charge-off range. - Brian Sahoi, Chief Credit Officer Q: How are you thinking about mergers and acquisitions (M&A) given the current industry environment? A: We are open to smaller deals that offer low-risk execution and can be leveraged into something more significant. We have looked at many opportunities but tend to bow out on larger deals due to pricing. Our focus remains on strategic, smaller acquisitions that align with our business model. - Mike Price, President and CEO Q: What is the outlook for organic loan growth, particularly in the equipment finance portfolio? A: The pipeline looks strong, although there might be more payoffs in the third quarter. Equipment finance has shown good momentum, and while we expect the portfolio to flatten out in about a year and a half, we are pleased with the credit quality and assets being financed. - Mike Price, President and CEO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
