Miller Value Partners, in their Q4 2020 Investor Letter, said that Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH) was added in their portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2020. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. is a cruise line company that currently has a $6.4 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, NCLH delivered a decent 17.35% return and settled at $23.54 per share at the closing of February 12th.
Here is what Miller Value Partners has to say about Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. in their Q4 2020 investor letter:
“In the squarely value camp, we bought Norwegian Cruise Lines in the fourth quarter. The sector has obviously been one of the hardest hit by COVID with business shut down. It should be one of the biggest beneficiaries of a normalization due to vaccines and infections helping us reach herd immunity at some point. As we got clarity around vaccine efficiency and potential timelines for disbursement, it enabled us to analyze the ability of cruise lines to make it through and what the potential balance sheet and earnings power might look like on the other side. We think Norwegian is worth somewhere in the $40s with a good ability to withstand the crisis. We think the recovery in travel is more likely to beat current recovery expectations than it is to fall short, setting up a nice risk-reward.”
