Andrew Didora has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors including Norwegian Cruise Line’s recent financial performance and strategic plans. The company’s EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 exceeded expectations, driven by stronger net yields and lower unit costs, although earnings per share were in line with forecasts due to currency losses. Despite these positive results, the guidance for the third quarter of 2025 was slightly below expectations, which influenced the Hold rating.
Additionally, Norwegian Cruise Line maintained its 2025 guidance and is focusing on expanding its capacity in the Caribbean for 2026, which is expected to increase traffic to its private island. However, this strategic shift may result in slightly lower yields, balancing out the potential benefits. The company’s stock price is close to the price objective set by the analyst, suggesting limited upside potential, which supports the Hold recommendation.
In another report released yesterday, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $24.00 price target.
