Royal Caribbean stock (NYSE: RCL) has risen by almost 8% over the last week (five trading days), compared to the S&P 500 which was up 0.6% over the same period. The stock is also up by about 8.7% over the last month. There are likely a couple of factors driving the stock higher. Firstly, the recent Covid-19 wave in the U.S. caused by the highly infectious delta virus variant appears to have peaked and investors are likely to seeing value in RCL stock which fell by almost 20% between June and early September. Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine received full FDA approval for individuals 16 years of age and older late last month. With a fully approved vaccine available, the U.S. is looking to impose new vaccine mandates on federal workers, large employers, and health care staff, in a move that could help to moderate the spread of Covid-19. This augurs well for travel stocks.
