Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$14.86

-1.3% from spot

The base case represents the modal expectation where near-term yield headwinds in Europe are managed through cost discipline ($225M savings), and free cash flow inflects positively as newbuild capex declines. Deleveraging progresses methodically, supporting our Fair Value midpoint of $14.86.

FY2026 constant currency Net Yield contracts by ~5.0% before recovering gradually in FY2027-FY2028.
Operating margins expand steadily from FY2026 through FY2027 and reach peak efficiency by FY2030.
Gross growth capex moderates by nearly $1B annually from 2026 to 2029.
Consolidated revenue grows from $9.83B in FY2025 to $10.06B in FY2026 and $10.59B in FY2027.

Bull20%

Price target

$18.11

+20.3% from spot

Under favorable macroeconomic conditions, commercial initiatives at Norwegian brand rebuild top-of-funnel bookings, eliminating promotional discounting. Oceania and Regent brands maintain premium pricing power. Accelerated cash flow generation enables rapid debt extinguishment, lowering the equity risk premium and driving the valuation toward the upper band.

Net yields accelerate robustly on an annual basis from FY2027 onward as marketing restructuring restores demand.
Operating margins expand toward 18.5% by 2028-2029.
Gross capital expenditures decline substantially each year, driving rapid net leverage reduction and balance sheet deleveraging.
