Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH) saw its stock plummet 5.14% in the intraday trading session on Thursday, despite announcing strong earnings results. The decline came as analysts raised concerns over the quality of the company's reported profits.
According to a recent analysis, NCLH received a significant one-time tax benefit of $137 million during the reported period. While this tax benefit boosted the company's reported earnings, analysts caution that it is a non-recurring event and may not accurately reflect NCLH's underlying earnings power.
The article suggests that focusing solely on NCLH's statutory profits could paint an overly optimistic picture of the company's profitability. However, it also acknowledges that NCLH's earnings per share (EPS) is growing at a very high rate over the last year, which is a positive sign for the company's future performance.
