Elliott Management's ambitious goal for Norwegian Cruise Line faces major hurdles—Citi Research
Elliott Management recently disclosed a 10% stake in Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCLH) in what will likely be a campaign by the activist investor to effect changes in the company’s board and reverse years of mismanagement.
Today, activist hedge fund Elliott Management disclosed a large 10% stake in Norwegian, and also published a presentation and letter to the Board of Directors in conjunction with the disclosure. The firm sees material upside in the stock, and it appears investors are cheering the activist's involvement.
With this agreement, NCLH now has 17 new ships on order. Norwegian Cruise Line will get eight new ships by 2037, Oceania Cruises will receive five and Regent Seven Seas will get four by 2036. According to the company, these new ships are expected to help increase growth by about 4% each year from 2026 to 2037.
Adam Goldstein, former president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, confirmed he is working with Elliott Investment Management on its campaign to change Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings' board of directors.
