What Happened?
Viking Holdings (VIK) stock jumped after Wells Fargo upgraded shares from equal weight to overweight and raised its price target from $79 to $109. That new target implies roughly 26% upside from current levels. Citigroup also raised its price target, moving from $90 to $101.
- Wells Fargo pointed to stronger-than-expected bookings and resilient customer demand despite ongoing concerns around the Iran conflict in the Middle East.
- The numbers back that up.
- Advanced bookings for 2027 are already 31% ahead of where they stood at the same point last year.
- The company is also already 92% booked for the 2026 season.
