Cruise stock price momentum is benefiting from steady dividend reinstatements. Sector yields averaging 2.5% are now competitive with broader market offerings, attracting income-focused portfolios. Despite the company’s 28% growth over the last six months, the company’s stock still lags behind peers, according to Truist. This is partially because Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NCLH) does not yet have an upgraded private island, which is expected to launch next year and could serve as a catalyst for valuation and profitability. In order to lower debt and interest expenses, Truist also highlighted the company’s excessive leverage, pointing to its recent tender offer that retired around 90% of its $1 billion 2027 Notes and 97% of its $225 million 2026 Notes.
