Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 25 days.
The thesis — published July 6, 2025
Ships are more than full and passengers are spending record amounts, so the stock has climbed. Yet buying pressure looks stretched, hinting it may rest soon. The company will hold an Investor Day on Aug 17 that could announce ways to cut debt, a good sign. If the price slides toward $20.80-$21.30, near its recent average price, buyers could step in again, aiming for $25 within about three months.
Primary drivers
- Trend is solid but looks overheated, so waiting for a pullback could lower risk.
- Aug 17 meeting might announce debt cuts and share repurchases, boosting confidence.
- Bookings beat pre-COVID levels and loyal guests spend 25 percent more, supporting sales.
- Investors remain eager to buy dips, yet shifting fuel prices could limit future gains.
