On August 3, Norwegian Cruise Line rose 5.56% in regular trading, trading at $19.295 per share, with turnover of approximately $72.53 million.
On the news front, Rothschild & Co Redburn adjusted its price target on Norwegian Cruise Line to $26 from $28 while maintaining a Buy rating. This follows Stifel's similar move on July 31, lowering its target to $25 from $26 but also keeping a Buy rating. The sustained bullish stance from multiple investment banks comes despite the company's second guidance cut this year, with full-year adjusted EPS now expected at $1.50 versus the FactSet consensus of $1.66.
Notably, the company's Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.48 beat the consensus estimate of $0.39 by 23%, providing evidence of solid operational execution even as forward bookings remain below optimal levels. The company has also committed to an additional $100 million in cost savings on top of the previously announced $125 million annualized reduction program.
The broader cruise sector showed strength, with Carnival up 2.68% and Royal Caribbean Cruises up 1.61%, reflecting positive industry-wide sentiment.
