Norwegian Cruise Line Q2 2026: EPS beats, but yield outlook darkens

NCLH beat on the bottom line but cut the top-line outlook: Q2 GAAP EPS of $0.48 topped the $0.3988 consensus, and Adjusted EBITDA of $666 million beat guidance. Revenue rose 4.9% to $2.64 billion, yet net yield fell and management now guides full-year net yield down about 5%. Read this as a cost-driven quarter inside a still-unfinished turnaround. Our view: Neutral.
