Investor letter puts OneSpaWorld Holdings (OSW) under the spotlight

Cedar Grove Capital Management’s latest investor letter has brought fresh attention to OneSpaWorld Holdings (OSW). It highlights how the company’s cruise and resort spa model is affected by external factors while still reporting an 11% year over year revenue increase.

The recent investor letter comes after a strong run in the share price, with a 30 day share price return of 14.99% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 47.10%. This suggests momentum has been building as cruise and resort demand, higher guest spending, and technology investments draw more attention to the story.

With the share price already up strongly and the stock trading only about 8% below the average analyst target, the key question is whether OneSpaWorld is still mispriced or if the market is already factoring in future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 7.8% Undervalued

The most followed valuation narrative puts OneSpaWorld’s fair value at $26.80, a touch above the last close at $24.70, framing the current debate around upside versus expectations.

Strategic rollout of next-generation technologies and AI-driven initiatives, although not yet fully reflected in results, is expected to boost operational efficiency and service personalization by 2026, reducing SG&A and supporting future EBITDA and earnings growth.

Curious what kind of revenue path, margin lift, and future earnings multiple are baked into that $26.80 figure? The narrative leans on steady compounding, richer profitability, and a premium valuation profile that rivals faster growing peers. The full breakdown shows exactly how those moving parts fit together into a single fair value number.

Result: Fair Value of $26.80 (UNDERVALUED)

However, that fair value story still runs into real friction if cruise volumes weaken or higher compliance and labor costs squeeze the 9.5% margin assumption.

Another Angle on Valuation

The popular $26.80 fair value leans on future earnings, but the current 35x P/E tells a tighter story. That is more than double the US Consumer Services average of 16.8x and well above a fair ratio of 21.1x, which points to valuation risk if sentiment cools. Which signal do you weigh more heavily?
