Robin M. Farley has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to Norwegian Cruise Line’s recent financial maneuvers. The company has engaged in a series of refinancing activities, which include issuing new exchangeable notes and refinancing secured debt at lower interest rates. These actions have led to a modest increase in the expected earnings per share (EPS) for 2026, primarily due to changes in accounting treatment for the new notes and a slight reduction in interest expenses.
Despite these positive adjustments, the overall impact on future earnings remains limited, as the 2027 EPS estimate remains largely unchanged. The refinancing has extended debt maturities and reduced interest costs, but the benefits are partially offset by changes in how interest expenses are accounted for. Given these mixed outcomes, Farley maintains a Neutral rating with a price target of $27, reflecting a balanced view of the company’s financial prospects.
According to TipRanks, M. Farley is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 23.8% and a 68.79% success rate. M. Farley covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as MGM Resorts, Las Vegas Sands, and Norwegian Cruise Line.
In another report released on September 10, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $26.00 price target.
