Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 24 days.
The thesis — published July 7, 2025
The share price has been resting in a tight 22 to 23 dollar window after doubling earlier this year. The company reports results on Aug 6 that could show profit per share rising 27 percent, and news stories say cruise reservations are at record highs. Even so, the stock looks overheated right now. If the price calmly drifts down to the 20.5-21.5 dollar area, new buyers would get a fairer entry and the chance of a climb to 26-28 dollars, about 18 percent higher within three months, would improve.
Primary drivers
- Cruise bookings hit records; Aug 6 results could show profit per share up 27 percent.
- Price has paused but stayed firm; moving above 23.5 dollars could open a path to 26-28.
- Enthusiasm is high and the climb has been rapid, so the stock now looks overbought.
- Cruise demand usually peaks in Q3, which has often lifted the shares.
