NCLH Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Norwegian Cruise Line's strategic positioning as the world's third-largest publicly traded cruise company, with a fleet of 34 ships and a redeployment of its entire fleet as of May 2022, reinforces its potential for growth. The company is poised to exceed its long-range earnings per share (EPS) target of $2.45 by 2026, bolstered by an order of 13 new passenger vessels, which will enhance its capacity by 38,400 incremental berths. Additionally, changes in management at its operating brands are expected to drive yield improvements, contributing to a positive financial outlook for the company.
Bears say
Norwegian Cruise Line's negative outlook can be attributed to declining guest satisfaction scores and sentiment following schedule disruptions, specifically regarding the cancellation of stops at popular destinations. Additionally, the company's high leverage remains a significant concern, as it continues to trade at a discount relative to its peers, with expectations that leverage will only decline to the mid-to-low 4s by the end of 2026. Furthermore, competitors have successfully enhanced their offerings, such as Royal Caribbean's CocoCay, potentially impacting Norwegian's market share in the Eastern Caribbean itineraries.
