JPMorgan upgraded Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) to Overweight from Neutral on March 17, 2025, following a meeting with the company's management. The firm maintained its price target at $30.
The upgrade was based on management's definitive message that there was 'zero detectable change in demand behavior to date despite 'noise' in the macro backdrop.' This indicates strong underlying consumer interest in cruises despite broader economic concerns.
JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss noted that cruises continue to offer a significant price advantage over land-based vacations, which, combined with enhanced ship amenities and private island exclusivity, helps maintain customer engagement. This positive assessment highlights NCLH's operational resilience and value proposition in the travel sector.
