10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

WIIM

Shares of cruise line stocks are trading lower after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently suggested in an interview that those companies will have to start paying U.S. taxes.

Cruise stocks such as Carnival Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), Royal Caribbean Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) and Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cruise-stocks">trading lower on Thursday</a>.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggested in an interview that the companies will have to start <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43858129/as-trump-pushes-for-reciprocal-tariffs-vietnam-looks-to-increase-us-farm-product-imports-to-ease-trade-risks">paying U.S. taxes.</a>
What To Know: Lutnick&#8217;s remarks, made in an interview on <a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/business/money-report/cruise-stocks-tumble-after-commerce-secretary-lutnick-signals-tax-crackdown/4114422/">Fox News,</a> centered on the fact that many cruise ships are not paying U.S. taxes despite operating in U.S. waters. He pointed out that the cruise industry is exempt from paying taxes on foreign operations, including the sale of alcohol on board, and warned that this situation could change under the Trump administration. 
Despite the decline in share prices, analysts at Stifel Financial have described the market reaction as an overreaction. They highlighted that similar concerns have been raised multiple times in the past without leading to any significant policy changes. 
The cruise industry has long been classified under the cargo industry by the IRS, making any changes to the tax structure difficult to implement. Furthermore, analysts suggested that the cruise industry could move its corporate headquarters abroad to avoid potential tax implications.
While concerns about potential tax changes continue to affect the cruise stock sector, analysts are advising investors to view the current slump as an opportunity to buy into companies like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian. The cruise industry remains highly resilient and its tax structure remains largely unaffected by past political discussions on the matter.
Price Action: At the time of writing,<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro</a> shows:
<ul>
<li>Carnival were down 5.85% at $24.56</li>
<li>Royal Caribbean Cruise were down 7.62% at $243.89, and </li>
<li>Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings were down 4.89% at $25.68. </li>

Palantir Rally Loses Steam, Walmart Outlook Disappoints: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Norwegian Cruise Line's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.64% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 21.74 million shares sold short, which is 6.56% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.44 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Norwegian Cruise Line Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739973616_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Norwegian Cruise Line has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Norwegian Cruise Line's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Norwegian Cruise Line's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.23%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Yet resilient quarterly earnings reports and a significantly less hawkish Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell compared to his stance in December gave bulls the confidence to buy the dip.
As widely expected, the Federal Reserve left interest rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43316048/fed-holds-interest-rates-steady-halts-streak-of-consecutive-cuts-as-inflation-remains-elevated">unchanged at 4.25%–4.5%.</a> Surprisingly, Powell instilled greater hopes for potential rate cuts in the future, stating that monetary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43318325/a-different-powell-emerges-fed-chair-softens-hawkish-tone-on-interest-rates-bitcoin">policy remains "meaningfully restrictive."</a>
The scars remained visible for Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which lost about 15% in a week, with the chipmaker falling again on Friday following reports that U.S. plans to levy a 10% tariff on China.
Risk sentiment deteriorated during Friday afternoon trading in New York amid escalating tariff concerns.
President Donald Trump said again he plans to introduce 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, though reports differed on when it would go into effect. 
On Friday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said tariffs are coming Saturday.
&#8220;The President will implement 25% [tariffs] on Mexico, Canada and 10% on China,&#8221; Leavitt stated. 
Analysts warn that such a measure could cause significant economic disruptions in North America, with the U.S. automotive industry<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43398182/trumps-25-tariffs-could-slaughter-canada-mexico-economies-hit-us-auto-industry-analysts-warn"> among the most affected.</a>

Looking At Norwegian Cruise Line's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Shares of cruise stocks are trading higher in sympathy with Royal Caribbean, which rose after reporting Q4 financial results .

After a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41634391/royal-caribbean-cruises-posts-q3-earnings-beat-but-analysts-say-all-is-not-well">successful third quarter</a>, one analyst is optimistic about the cruise line industry heading into fourth-quarter earnings.
The Cruise Analyst: Goldman Sachs analyst Lizzie Dove published a note on the cruise line industry ahead of earnings. Here are her ratings and price targets:
<ul>
<li>Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>), reiterating a Buy rating and lowering its price target from $275 to $270.</li>
<li>Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>), reiterating a Buy rating and lowering its price target from $35 to $34.</li>
</ul>
Royal Caribbean Takeaways: Dove noted potential foreign exchange and crude oil headwinds for Royal Caribbean, causing a 30-cent reduction in their EPS forecasts. Still, the analyst is optimistic.
&#8220;Though our investor conversations around this headwind have increased in recent days, we are confident than RCL can still maintain its current guidance for 2025 to have a $14 handle,&#8221; Dove said. &#8220;On a constant currency basis, we expect RCL to guide to moderate net yield growth on a constant currency basis, with somewhere close to a high 3%/low 4% handle possible by our math.&#8221;
The analyst is most looking forward to Royal Caribbean&#8217;s Investor Day presentation and new long-term targets. Dove is interested in the company&#8217;s progress in its private island investments in Mexico and the Caribbean and a potential stock buyback program.
Dove estimates that Royal Caribbean can buy back around $15 billion in shares from 2025 to 2027.
Norweigan Cruise Line Takeaways: The analyst noted concerns among investors in the company&#8217;s yield growth and 2025 guidance. Dove thinks such concerns are already priced in and the company has the opportunity for overperformance.
&#8220;Still, we believe this is now priced into the stock and well understood by investors, and don't see this as a reason to not own NCLH. In fact, we think NCLH has sufficiently lowered the bar and see potential for outperformance on both yield and costs.&#8221;
The analyst also listed several cost-reduction measures by the Miami, Florida-based company including onboard initiatives and fuel and energy savings.

'Potential For Outperformance': Goldman Sachs Analyst Is Optimistic Ahead Of Royal Caribbean, Norweigan Cruise Earnings

Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) is charting a multi-year growth path and JPMorgan analyst Matthew R. Boss sees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cruise-lines">the cruise giant</a> setting sail for stronger returns in 2025 and beyond.
After an exclusive shipboard chat with Carnival's top brass, Boss highlights key catalysts that could drive the next leg of the stock's performance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growth Beyond The Horizon</h2>
CEO Josh Weinstein sees Carnival's diversified portfolio of eight brands as a key advantage over smaller peers, with Carnival and AIDA already surpassing 2019 performance metrics. The real opportunity? The remaining six brands, many still trailing pre-pandemic levels, are now under Weinstein's direct oversight after organizational shifts. With a focus on marketing and execution, management is counting on a strong 2025-2026 ramp-up.
While the industry worries about overcapacity, Carnival is taking a disciplined approach, adding just 0-1% annual capacity growth, well below the pre-pandemic 3%. With only 2-3% of global hotel stays coming from cruises, the U.S. and Canada remain a largely untapped market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI, Yield Management &amp; A &#8216;Magic Kingdom&#8217; At Sea</h2>
Carnival's revenue play isn't just about record bookings, it's about smart pricing. Enter &#8216;YODA&#8217; the company's AI-driven yield management system, designed to maximize revenue. Early results look promising, with new-to-cruise guests up 13% year-over-year and repeat bookings climbing 10%.
Meanwhile, Carnival is expanding its strategic destination assets, with the upcoming Celebration Key, set to open in mid-2025. By 2030, the company aims to handle 11 million guests annually—nearly double the 6.5 million expected in 2024. Daily capacity across its destinations will rise to 95,000, rivaling the foot traffic of Disney's Magic Kingdom.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Balance Sheet Detox</h2>
Debt reduction remains a priority, with Carnival slashing $7.3 billion in debt since early 2023. Interest expenses are already down 15% year-over-year, with CFO David Bernstein targeting a return to sub-3.5x leverage by FY26, a significant improvement from 6.7x in FY23.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Implications: FX, Fuel &amp; Competitive Positioning</h2>
While Carnival is executing its multi-year plan, foreign exchange and fuel volatility remain headwinds for the broader industry. JPMorgan has adjusted (lowered) its earnings models for key competitors Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) based on recent currency shifts and fuel cost increases. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Takeaway</h2>
Carnival is more than 80% of the way to its <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/carnival-corporation--plc-reports-second-quarter-2023-earnings-and-sets-sights-on-2026-sea-change-program-301862616.html">SEA Change</a> transformation targets, with long-term return on invested capital (ROIC) expected to land "at least in the teens" by 2026. With disciplined growth, AI-driven revenue strategies, and a revamped balance sheet, Carnival looks well-positioned to navigate the next phase of industry expansion. 
Investors betting on the cruise rebound might find Carnival's multi-year story compelling, especially as it leans into pricing power, brand execution and strategic destinations.

Goldman Sachs research kicked off the new year with bold stock picks and a spotlight on five investment themes poised to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42710358/veteran-investor-bets-big-on-sp-500-hitting-7000-by-end-of-2025-these-sectors-could-lead-the-charge">shape markets in 2025.</a>
What Happened: In a note shared Thursday, the analyst team led by Steven Kron shuffled its &#8220;Conviction List&#8221; — a carefully curated portfolio of top investment ideas.
Goldman Sachs added Belden Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDC#NYSE">BDC</a>), Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>), and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) to the list. These companies replaced Fox Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>), Parker Hannifin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), and TPG Inc. (TPG).

Why It Matters: Industrial tech is back in vogue. Analyst Mark Delaney sees Belden riding a cyclical industrial recovery while expanding its high-margin software solutions business. Delaney models earnings per share (EPS) above consensus estimates for both 2025 and 2026, making this a standout pick in the industrial space.
Cruises are sailing into a stronger 2025. Analyst Lizzie Dove cites accelerating Net Purchase Intent (NPI) data and cost savings from a 2023 management shuffle. Dove expects Norwegian to widen its yield-to-unit-cost spread by 2.5 percentage points, bringing its valuation closer to peer Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>).
Analyst Eric Sheridan remains bullish on Uber despite skepticism over its mobility business and the rise of autonomous vehicles. He forecasts a robust 39% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in adjusted EBITDA from 2023-2026. According to the bank, Uber is set to deliver $3.50 in GAAP EPS by 2026—a projection that sits 7% above consensus. Goldman Sachs holds a 12-month price target of $96 on Uber stock, implying a nearly 60% upside from current market levels.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Themes For 2025: AI, M&amp;A, Deglobalization, And More</h3>
The investment bank also outlined five key themes to track as we enter the new year.
<ul>
<li>Artificial Intelligence: Goldman's Kash Rangan expects AI investment to shift in 2025, moving from infrastructure spending to platforms and applications. In a recent note, Rangan highlighted the increasing integration of AI into enterprise software. Stocks with exposure to this trend include Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) and Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>De-regulation, M&amp;A, And Capital Markets Rebound: Regulatory changes under a potential second Trump administration could accelerate M&amp;A activity, Goldman analysts say. Financial firms like Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Evercore Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>), and S&amp;P Global (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPGI#NYSE">SPGI</a>) are positioned to benefit. Analyst Richard Ramsden recently indicated a more favorable environment for banks and financial advisors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Re-powering America: Carly Davenport flagged the surging power demands of data centers and AI compute, noting this trend is driving sustained growth in utilities capex. Her team stressed the importance of energy infrastructure to support the transportation electrification. Stocks like DBA Sempra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) is Goldman&#8217;s top pick here.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Deglobalization: The era of tariff wars is far from over. Jan Hatzius and economics team expect a 20 percentage point hike in tariffs on Chinese imports and new duties on European autos and Mexican EVs. Companies like Vulcan Materials Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMC#NYSE">VMC</a>) and Woodward Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WWD#NASDAQ">WWD</a>) are well-positioned to adapt to supply chain disruptions caused by these policies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Resilient US Consumers: Despite macro concerns, Goldman Sachs continues to paint another strong year for U.S. consumers. Discretionary cash flow is expected to grow by 5.2% in 2025, up from 4.4% in 2024, supported by higher savings rates. Stocks to watch include Norwegian Cruise Line, Uber, Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>), and Pinterest Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>).</li>

Goldman Sachs Adds 3 Stocks To 'Conviction List,' Flags 5 Market Trends To Monitor In 2025

Risk sentiment returned to Wall Street on Friday, revitalized by softer-than-expected November inflation data leading to a strong market rebound following the selloff triggered by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42615908/feds-preferred-inflation-gauge-falls-more-than-expected-markets-breathe-sigh-of-relief">Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent meeting.</a>
The Personal Consumption Expenditure price index rose 2.4% year-over-year in November, falling short of the 2.5% increase forecasted. The core PCE, a key gauge closely watched by the Fed, also missed expectations, rising 2.8% compared to the anticipated 2.9%.
By midday Friday, all major indices were in rally mode, with broad-based gains across sectors. In the S&amp;P 500, 480 companies traded higher, and every sector advanced as investors welcomed the reprieve in inflationary pressures.
The real estate sector led the charge, rebounding sharply after being hit hardest in the aftermath of the Fed meeting. Small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 also posted robust gains, powered by a strong recovery in regional banks.
The travel industry soared, driven by upbeat earnings and optimistic guidance from Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), which fueled enthusiasm across the sector. The cruise line rose by 6%, eyeing the highest close since October 2021. 
In the bond market, yields dropped by approximately 5 basis points across the curve, boosting Treasury prices. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) gained nearly 1%, recovering some ground after a 3% slide over the previous two sessions. The dollar softened, declining 0.6%, while gold gained over 1%. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) attracted dip buyers after plunging to $92,118. Although the cryptocurrency pared its daily losses, it remains on track for its worst weekly performance in four months.

Wall Street Rallies On Soft Inflation Data, Bonds Rebound, Travel Stocks Surge: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Norwegian Cruise Line's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.57% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 26.18 million shares sold short, which is 7.9% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.77 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Norwegian Cruise Line Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734700517_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Norwegian Cruise Line has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Norwegian Cruise Line's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Norwegian Cruise Line's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.84%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
