Reason
Jefferies initiated coverage of Viking Holdings with a Hold rating and $45 price target. The firm is bullish on the cruise sector, citing "compelling demand" from the trade-down value-travel tailwind and constrained industry supply growth through 2030. Viking has a dual-class ownership structure, with Viking Capital Limited holding~87% of the voting shares versus 53% of the economic interest, which is an overhang on the shares, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While Jefferies views the business positively, it believes that other stocks have greater upside from here.

2025-03-14
Reason
Truist analyst Patrick Scholes raised the firm's price target on Viking Holdings to $50 from $49 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares as part of a broader research note on Cruise Lines. The firm's conversations over the past month with senior executives in the travel industry and from examining "big data" on future cruise bookings and pricing suggest noticeable deceleration in the industry-wide y/y booking pace vs. comparable paces in December and January, though with that being said, there was no noticeable deceleration in the y/y pricing growth on new bookings, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

2025-03-12
Reason
Barclays analyst Brandt Montour lowered the firm's price target on Viking Holdings to $46 from $49 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The company reported a "solid" Q4 and its 2025 is "as safe as they come," but the market wanted more, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

2025-01-22
Reason
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Viking Holdings (VIK) with a Neutral rating and $49 price target. The firm sees a "lot to like" about Viking's business model, including its high exposure to a growing demographic that is booking further ahead and at higher prices, and its "industry-leading category expansion providing a solid boost to revenue growth." However, with the stock up 73% since the initial public offering in May 2024, a one-times valuation premium versus Royal Caribbean (RCL), Goldman would look for a more favorable entry point at these levels, the analyst tells investors in a research note. In addition, given Viking's high visibility into bookings and desire to maintain a meaningful cash cushion, the firm sees relatively a lower opportunity than at its peers for near-term estimate revisions and share repurchases.

$50 → $58
2025-01-17
Reason
JPMorgan raised the firm's price target on Viking Holdings to $58 from $50 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares following recent field work and speaking with management. Viking's pricing power is greater than peers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that despite the company's capacity nearly four-times the peer average, it has still been able to deliver a net yield growth algorithm ahead of the big three cruise lines. Near-term, noted similar signs of continued strength cited by peers post-election at its core customer base and will end the year north of 70% booked, contends JPMorgan.

2024-12-19
Reason
Citi initiated coverage of Viking Holdings (VIK) with a Buy rating and $54 price target. Viking carries many of the same positive investment characteristics as its public cruise peers, while featuring some "uniquely-compelling opportunities" that come with being the premier riverboat cruise operator while simultaneously in the early stages of an ocean cruise expansion strategy, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that as a result, the company has the best growth profile of the cruise companies. While this is accompanied by a relative valuation premium, the group as a whole is undervalued, and Viking deserves a comparable multiple to Royal Caribbean (RCL), Citi contends.

2024-12-13
Reason
Barclays analyst Brandt Montour downgraded Viking Holdings to Equal Weight from Overweight with an unchanged price target of $49. The firm cites the stock's recent rally for the downgrade. It sees more upside at the other three names. Viking's "best-in-class visibility is the type of characteristic we would prefer more in a shakier macro" environment, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

$38 → $49
2024-12-02
Reason
Truist analyst Patrick Scholes raised the firm's price target on Viking Holdings to $49 from $38 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares as part of a broader research note on Cruise lines. The firm's recent discussions with senior executives at private companies in the travel industry and examination of "big data" on future cruise bookings and pricing continue to be highly encouraging, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist adds however that while Viking is the cruise sector leader in many categories - including ROIC, capacity growth, earnings growth, balance sheet, and potential first to return capital to shareholders since Covid - of the four public companies in the sector, the firm sees the company as having the least upside to revenues vs. consensus expectations.
