S&P upgraded Viking's credit rating to BB+ from BB, reflecting improved leverage at 1.0x.
Actionable Insight
Strong operational and booking momentum supports near-term upside. Monitor the conference call for FY guidance and any macro commentary. The credit upgrade and deleveraging provide a safety margin. Consider adding/reducing long positions based on relative cruise sector valuations.
