Yahoo Finance What's in Store for Norwegian Cruise's (NCLH) Q2 Earnings?
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. NCLH is scheduled to report second-quarter 2020 results on Aug 6. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 90.4%.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of $2.19, against earnings of $1.30 in the prior-year quarter. In the past seven days, estimates for current quarter have remained stable. The consensus estimate for revenues stands at $3.38 million, suggesting a decline of 99.8% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
The cruise industry has been brought to a standstill by the coronavirus-induced crisis. The company’s second-quarter results are likely to reflect sharp decline owing to cruise cancellations. Notably, the company had suspended global cruise operation beginning mid-March on account of the pandemic. Due to the ongoing crisis scenario, bookings for 2020 have declined significantly. Moreover, cash burn owing to the coronavirus-induced shutdowns might have weighed on the company’s to-be-reported quarter performance.
