McIntyre Partnership made the following comment about OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:OSW) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

“In the winners column, OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:OSW) and STHO contributed 100-500bps, while SHC and MSGE contributed over 500bps. In the losers column, no investment lost more than 100bps. Beyond SHC, the fund also registered gains in two large and long held investments, MSGE and OSW, which rallied 34% and 33%, respectively. MSGE benefited from both strong earnings and anticipation of its value-unlocking spinoff, which I discuss below, while OSW rallied on a faster than anticipated return to profitability and the ongoing recovery in cruise travel. As cruise travel has not yet fully recovered from the pandemic, I believe the sector can improve further as capacity returns, even if overall consumer spending broadly pulls back.”
