Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Friday - Stifel analysts have raised the price target on Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:NCLH) to $36.00, up from the previous $35.00, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. Currently trading at $23.33, the stock has shown strong momentum with a 32.6% gain over the past six months, according to InvestingPro data. The adjustment follows the company’s guidance indicating a positive performance outlook for the coming quarters.
Norwegian Cruise Line, according to Stifel, is expected to see a 4.5% increase in per diems over the last three quarters of 2025, outperforming its competitor Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL). The company has demonstrated solid performance with $9.48 billion in revenue and a gross profit margin of 40%. Despite these positive indicators, the stock has faced downward pressure, which Stifel attributes to investor concerns over lower forecasted load factors, modest first quarter guidance, and unenthusiastic booking commentary, particularly in the luxury segment. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a "GOOD" overall financial health score, suggesting resilience despite these challenges.
Stifel’s analysis suggests that the current dip in Norwegian Cruise Line’s stock presents a significant buying opportunity. The firm believes that the initial guidance for 2025 has been set at achievable levels, potentially leading to multiple instances where the company could surpass expectations and adjust its guidance upward throughout the year. With a P/E ratio of 11.2 and analysts forecasting EPS of $2.41 for 2025, detailed financial analysis is available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report on InvestingPro, along with 8 additional key insights about the company’s prospects.
The research firm remains optimistic about Norwegian Cruise Line’s earnings potential, projecting that the company could generate earnings per share (EPS) exceeding $3 by 2026. This forecast is based on the company’s current guidance and performance metrics, which appear to position it favorably for future financial success.
As of today, Norwegian Cruise Line’s stock has not responded to the revised price target and maintained Buy rating from Stifel. The market’s reaction to these developments may unfold in the coming days as investors digest the implications of the updated guidance and Stifel’s analysis.
