Viking Holdings (NYSE: VIK) shot up more than 5% after its May 14 earnings report, which showed revenue growth helped offset rising fuel costs. The post-earnings move has pushed VIK to a level that long-term investors may not want to chase. But be careful. Any pullback may not be dramatic, and if the company’s fundamental story continues to outrun analysts’ ratings, a sharp move higher seems inevitable.
For Q1 2026, Viking delivered revenue of $1.05 billion. That came in ahead of the forecasted $1.01 billion and was higher than the $897 million Viking recorded in Q1 2025. The company reported negative earnings per share of 11 cents, better than the estimate of negative 12 cents and significantly better than the negative 24 cents it delivered in Q1 2025.
