Analyst Benjamin Chaiken double-downgraded shares of the cruise stock to underperform from outperform, saying investors should put their money in other cruise stocks. “NCLH is a top quality organization, and we’re constructive long run, nonetheless, the stock has outperformed materially YTD and on a relative basis we see risk to estimates and valuation vs peers,” Chaiken wrote in a note published Thursday.
