Stifel nudges OneSpaWorld shares target to $22 on strong onboard sales

On Thursday, Stifel, a financial services firm, adjusted its outlook on OneSpaWorld Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:OSW), increasing the shares price target to $22.00 from the previous $21.00. The firm sustained its Buy rating for the company's shares.

The upward revision follows a series of investor meetings hosted by Stifel, which included OneSpaWorld's top executives. During these meetings, key performance indicators (KPIs) showed that the average guest spend, pre-booked sales, and passenger penetration rates were significantly above historical levels. These metrics have remained robust, with no indication of a downturn.

Stifel's analysis suggests that OneSpaWorld's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) guidance for 2024, which ranges from $95 million to $105 million, is likely conservative. The firm posits that the company's management may be factoring in a cautious outlook for the second half of 2024.

Nonetheless, based on the current operating trends, Stifel has decided to slightly raise its own EBITDA estimate for 2024, exceeding the high end of OneSpaWorld's guidance.

Furthermore, Stifel has increased its EBITDA projections for 2025 and 2026 by approximately 2% per year, aligning their estimates more closely with the consensus. The revised figures reflect a more optimistic view of OneSpaWorld's future financial performance.

The firm reiterates its confidence in OneSpaWorld as an investment opportunity, highlighting the stock as an attractive option to capitalize on the growth of the cruise industry while mitigating associated risks.

Following Stifel's positive outlook on OneSpaWorld Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: OSW), InvestingPro data and tips provide additional context for investors considering the stock. According to real-time metrics, OneSpaWorld boasts a market capitalization of $1.61 billion, reflecting its substantial presence in the industry. The company's revenue growth has been impressive, with a 28.35% increase over the last twelve months as of Q1 2024, and a quarterly growth of 15.77% in Q1 2024, underscoring the robust performance highlighted by Stifel.

InvestingPro Tips indicate that analysts are optimistic about OneSpaWorld's future, with four analysts revising their earnings upwards for the upcoming period and expectations for net income growth this year. These revisions align with Stifel's increased EBITDA projections and suggest that the company's financial health is on an upward trajectory. However, the stock is currently trading at a high earnings multiple with a P/E ratio of 44.94, which could indicate that it is priced optimistically relative to earnings.
