Bank of America analysts have expressed optimism about the cruise line industry ahead of upcoming earnings reports, forecasting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cruise-lines">potential stock price increases.</a>
The analysts highlighted that U.S. airlines are facing pricing challenges due to overcapacity and demand concerns, as noted by Ryanair in their latest earnings report.
&#8220;We view cruise as more insulated from the airline trends given longer booking curves (9+ months vs 3 months)&nbsp;and&nbsp;different supply dynamics,&#8221; Andrew G. Didora, CFA, wrote in a note published Tuesday. 
The expert sees minimal risk to near-term earnings and expects cruise companies to continue reporting strong fundamentals this earnings season, similar to Carnival Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) recent solid results and raised guidance at the end of June.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America Raised Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Price Targets</h3>
Royal Caribbean Cruise Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) is set to announce its Q2 2024 earnings this Thursday, July 25.
&#8220;We believe our current&nbsp;RCL&nbsp;estimates are reasonable ahead of results,&#8221; Didora said. Bank of America estimates a net yield of +11.0% in Q2 2024, slightly above the high end of guidance at +10-10.5%.
Given the strong trends anticipated in the cruise sector, Bank of America has raised the price objective for Royal Caribbean Cruise Ltd. to $172, while maintaining a Neutral rating.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) hosted an investor day at the end of May, and Bank of America anticipates similar messaging in the July 31 earnings call: focusing on deleveraging, keeping unit costs below inflation, and achieving mid-single digit net yield growth. 
Bank of America&#8217;s full-year 2024 estimated EBITDA is $2.3 billion (aligning with the Street and slightly above the guidance of $2.25 billion), with their Q2 2024 EPS estimate slightly ahead of guidance at 33 cents compared to the guidance of 32 cents (Street 34 cents).
For Q3 2024, they forecast net yields of +5.9% versus the Street&#8217;s +5%, with EPS of 94 cents compared to the Street&#8217;s 90 cents.
Bank of America has raised the price objective to $23 as they increase their target multiple, reflecting the continued strong industry trends, while maintaining a Neutral rating.

Bank Of America Raises Projections For Cruise Line Stocks: 'More Insulated From The Airline Trends'

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is reportedly making its debut on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/xbox-game-pass">Xbox Game Pass this week</a>.
Insider Gaming&#8217;s Tom Henderson is <a href="https://insider-gaming.com/modern-warfare-3-xbox-game-pass-july-24/">citing</a> sources claiming that the game will be available on the subscription service on July 24.
This development follows earlier rumors from Windows Central&#8217;s Jez Corden, who hinted at the game&#8217;s arrival on Game Pass in July.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/07/39805048/black-ops-6-first-multi-platform-beta-in-franchise-history-all-you-need-to-know">Black Ops 6: First Multi-Platform Beta In Franchise History — All You Need To Know</a>
The upcoming release marks a significant moment for Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Game Pass, as it will be the first Call of Duty title to launch on the platform. While Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was speculated to be the initial offering, Modern Warfare 3 has taken the spotlight.
Modern Warfare 3, the latest installment in Activision&#8217;s renowned first-person shooter series, is a reboot of the beloved sub-series. It continues the franchise&#8217;s tradition of delivering high-octane, multiplayer action.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Price Hikes For Xbox Game Pass</h3>
The timing of Modern Warfare 3&#8217;s Game Pass release coincides with recent announcements from Xbox regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/07/39857656/ftc-criticizes-microsoft-over-xbox-game-pass-price-increase-and-degraded-standard-tier">price increases for the subscription service. </a>
The Ultimate tier will see a $3 increase in its monthly fee. The Game Pass Console tier will be replaced by Xbox Game Pass Standard, costing subscribers $14.99 per month.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Impact Of Modern Warfare 3&#8217;s Game Pass Debut</h3>
The addition of Modern Warfare 3 to Game Pass is likely to bolster the service&#8217;s appeal, especially amid the recent price hikes. 
Game Pass has been a cornerstone of Xbox&#8217;s strategy. It offers a vast library of games for a monthly fee, and the inclusion of high-profile titles like Call of Duty is a significant draw for subscribers.

A movie about a U.S. Senator was one of the most watched films on streaming platform Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) over the past week. The renewed interest is related to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Former President Donald Trump selected Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39780777/trump-picks-senator-j-d-vance-as-running-mate-musk-says-great-choice-for-vp"> his running mate</a> in the 2024 election.
Prior to being a member of the Senate, Vance was a venture capitalist and gained national fame as the author of the bestselling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy."
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39912303/kamala-harris-prospective-vp-picks-all-seem-to-support-cannabis-legalization-5-names-in-the-mix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harris' Prospective VP Picks All Seem To Support Cannabis Legalization – 6 Names In The Mix</a>
The 2016 memoir was turned into a movie that Netflix had the distribution rights to and now streams on their platform.
Vance's book, as well as the film adaptation, tells the story of his upbringing in rural Kentucky and later in blue-collar Ohio.
"From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class," a description of the book reads.
Since Vance was announced as Trump's vice-presidential pick, the movie saw strong interest from Netflix subscribers.
The streaming platform <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10">announced </a>its top 10 most-viewed titles Tuesday and "Hillbilly Elegy" ranked eighth for the week of July 15 through July 21 among English-language films.

Ranking in the top 10 for the first time since Netflix began publishing its weekly list, the film had 9.4 million hours viewed and 4.8 million views.
The movie adaptation of the book starred&nbsp;Glenn Close, Amy Adams&nbsp;and&nbsp;Gabriel Basso, who portrayed Vance. Close was nominated for an Academy Award for Supporting Actress. The film also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Makeup &amp; Hairstyling.
Netflix could benefit from having the rights to the film, as searches on Google have soared for "Hillbilly Elegy."
Google Trends <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&amp;geo=US&amp;q=hillbilly%20elegy&amp;hl=en">shows </a>that the top states searching for the movie/book were Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama and South Carolina.
The top breakout search terms based on "Hillbilly Elegy," listed below, also play well in Netflix's favor.

Vance: &#8216;Hillbilly Elegy&#8217; Author, Bitcoin Holder, First Millennial VP Pick And More</a>
Why It's Important: Netflix isn't the only one gaining from the surge in interest for the book. The book, which is called "A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis," is also performing well for e-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
The paperback version of the book is currently <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hillbilly-Elegy-Memoir-Family-Culture/dp/0062300555/ref=sr_1_1?crid=39X2KHVWYDRTE&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.g-_jYUvIVGPLSLf6vZC8jM7UJBkdh51YUAHBxQei0XQzPuNTzEqlICvGSAzqFklVOwhBrUDoC5MMLyx3vzvAKcMpZWo_9uWnNcSzJg771s_zKNiMo-P1LZtDN_E8ykP4mRYLWiV0Ibhc4IoqiY7AAUAeC3C8jMAG-fbbOHCJlRh-fv-117ghRSA7QRrjdCCUzdjFAddgKW1RfO4jqarWh9PujhZTK-Qjs8XdqcpHGVM.UGu-7uCbr35kLPDL2-ww46ej3q3QgzsiT0fchRS7X28&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=hillbilly+elegy&amp;qid=1721761371&amp;sprefix=hillbilly+elegy%2Caps%2C128&amp;sr=8-1">ranked </a>number one in the Books category with the hardcover version of the book ranking number three in the category.
While it's common for older books to surge in interest and sales volume on a platform like Amazon when a movie or TV series is released on the content, this comes four years after the movie was released.
With the 2024 election four months away and the potential that Vance is on the winning side of the race, the book and movie could continue to see strong interest.

The Details: Mattel reported quarterly earnings of 19 cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 17 cents by 11.76%.

Worldwide gross billings for Dolls were $414 million, down 6% as reported, or 5% in constant currency, versus the prior year&#8217;s second quarter, primarily due to declines in Barbie, Disney Princess and Frozen.

Worldwide gross billings for Vehicles were $370 million, up 2%, primarily driven by growth in Hot Wheels.
Worldwide gross billings for Action Figures, Building Sets, Games, and Other were $227 million, up 1%, primarily driven by growth in Games, partially offset by declines in Action Figures.
&#8220;This was a good quarter for Mattel, where we achieved significant gross margin expansion, and growth in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.

Vice President Kamala Harris appears ready to secure the Democratic Party's nomination and could soon be tasked with selecting a vice-presidential candidate to be her running mate in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">the 2024 election.</a>
What Happened: Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39908377/kamala-harris-secures-majority-backing-for-2024-democratic-nomination-ap-survey">has secured enough delegates</a> to win the party's nomination according to reports, setting up a head-to-head battle against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
One of Harris' first tasks could be to select a vice-presidential candidate. Former Attorney General Eric Holder is<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/former-attorney-general-holder-vet-harriss-potential-running-mates-sources-2024-07-22/"> reportedly</a> tasked to lead the search as Harris looks to drum up additional support from Democratic and Independent voters.
Over $16 million was wagered on Polymarket, which <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/democratic-vp-nominee?tid=1721758379938">offers </a>bettors the chance to gamble on who Harris will select.
The current favorites are listed below:
<ul>
<li>Mark Kelly: 35%</li>
<li>Josh Shapiro: 24%</li>
<li>Roy Cooper: 20%</li>
<li>Andy Beshear: 9%</li>
<li>Pete Buttigieg: 4%</li>
<li>Tim Walz: 3%</li>
<li>Gretchen Whitmer: 3%</li>
</ul>
There appear to be four betting favorites.
Kelly is a U.S. Senator for Arizona since 2020 and a former astronaut. The Senator has some name recognition thanks to his space missions and being married to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
Shapiro is the governor of Pennsylvania since 2023 and has risen in name recognition. Before endorsing Harris, the governor was viewed as a potential replacement option for Biden. Shapiro was Pennsylvania attorney general from 2017 to 2023 (Harris held that title in California before joining the Senate).
North Carolina Governor Cooper previously served in the state's House of Representatives and Senate. He was also the state&#8217;s attorney general from 2001 to 2017.
Beshear is the governor of Kentucky since 2019. Beshear also served as the attorney general of the state from 2016 to 2019.
Further down the list are Secretary of Transportation Buttigieg, Minnesota Gov. Walz and Michigan Gov. Whitmer.

Harris: Former President Has 9-Point Lead Over VP, &#8216;Biden&#8217;s Decision To Step Aside For Harris May Be A Case Of Too Similar, Too Late&#8217;</a>
Why It's Important: With an expected close race against Trump, Harris&#8217; VP decision could be an especially important one.
Trump selected Senator J.D. Vance as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39780777/trump-picks-senator-j-d-vance-as-running-mate-musk-says-great-choice-for-vp">his running mate,</a> bringing in someone with minimal political experience and a business background. Vance is also one of the youngest vice-presidential candidates ever. He&#8217;s expected to appeal to right-wing voters in the Midwest and Rust Belt states.
Harris could counter this by picking someone from a state in this region like Pennsylvania, Indiana (Buttigieg), or Michigan.
Buttigieg, 42, is one of the youngest members in strong contention for the role. The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana would bring a millennial to the campaign — offsetting millennial Vance.
Cooper, 67, is one of the most experienced candidates and has experience as a governor, state representative, state senator and state attorney general.
Swing states could be incredibly important in the 2024 election. The commonly listed swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin with North Carolina also sometimes listed. This would make Kelly, Shapiro, Cooper and Whitmer as potential picks to help secure the key states.
Whitmer has endorsed Harris and <a href="https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/politics-policy/whitmer-endorses-harris-wont-accept-a-running-mate-offer/?utm_term=Autofeed&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1721660690">said </a>she does not want to be included on the ticket, likely ruling out a potential run.
