Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Bookings And DemandAnalyst highlights that forward bookings at elevated occupancy and higher pricing for 2026 signal sustained demand and support revenue momentum and pricing power.
Corporate Structure SimplificationAnalyst notes that a planned unification of the dual-listed structure onto a single exchange should enhance liquidity, simplify governance, and reduce corporate costs, improving investor appeal.
Dividend And Capital ReturnsAnalyst points to the reinstatement of a regular quarterly dividend and renewed focus on capital returns as a catalyst to attract income-oriented investors and improve shareholder confidence.
Bears Say
Inflation And Drydock Cost HeadwindsAnalyst highlights that higher dry dock expenses and inflation-driven increases in operating and marketing costs are likely to raise net cruise costs and compress margins.
Loyalty Program And Redeployment ImpactsAnalyst cautions that accounting effects and penalties from a new loyalty program combined with redeployment changes in certain regions may reduce reported yields and create near-term profit headwinds.
Yield Guidance PressureAnalyst warns that softer yield guidance tied to regional capacity increases and itinerary redeployments could weigh on revenue per passenger and investor sentiment.
