Lizzie Dove has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Norwegian Cruise Line’s positive third-quarter net yield guidance, which exceeded consensus expectations. The company experienced a strong rebound in demand for long-haul European activities, with bookings surpassing historical levels, indicating that previous challenges are being overcome. Additionally, the 2025 net yield guidance suggests a solid growth trajectory, setting a favorable stage for 2026 as the company moves past current yield headwinds.
Moreover, Norwegian Cruise Line reported second-quarter adjusted EBITDA that was higher than expected, driven by effective cost management. The company’s net yield growth was in line with expectations and slightly above guidance, reflecting robust financial performance. Looking forward, the updated 2025 outlook, including steady net yield growth and adjusted EBITDA projections, supports the positive investment sentiment. These factors collectively underpin Lizzie Dove’s confidence in the stock’s potential, leading to her Buy rating.
