Royal Caribbean Cruises' stock has increased by 11% year-to-date, outperforming most peers except Viking. However, the stock's valuation is now stretched, largely influenced by recent oil price fluctuations. The company downgraded its earnings guidance due to an oil price shock, but a sustained drop in oil prices could lead to an upgrade. Future stock performance will depend heavily on whether oil prices stabilize or continue to move, impacting short-term outlooks.
