1055 ET - Viking Holdings has a resilient base of cruise-taking customers, but questions have sprung up about its ability to keep boosting revenue with higher prices heading into 2026, Melius Research analysts Conor Cunningham and Patrick Coleman say in a research note. Pricing normally starts high and moves lower as high-yielding cabins book out first and lower-yielding cabins fill in later, they say. In 2025, pricing started up 12% and came down to 7% year-over-year growth, but Viking is guiding for pricing to start at just 4% in 2026, creating concerns about whether the company can maintain pricing growth as bookings progress through the year, the analysts say. Shares fall 4.6% to $44.91. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
