Lindblad Expeditions Hldgs

Lindblad Expeditions acquired 60% of White Desert Antarctica and Echo Charlie for about $61 million in cash plus roughly $6 million of acquired cash, expanding its portfolio beyond expedition cruises into Antarctic land travel and restored DC-3 aviation trips. Management raised 2026 tour-revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance, citing the acquisition and stronger existing performance, but did not disclose standalone earnings, cash flow, or synergies for the acquired businesses. Key risks include short Antarctic seasonality, operational and capital requirements for camp and logistics, and uncertainty whether incremental bookings and cross-selling will cover the purchase price and integration costs. The investment’s payoff depends on realized cash generation attributable to Lindblad’s 60% stake. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com

Lindblad Expeditions reported Q2 2026 revenue of $199.2m (+18.6%) and adjusted EPS of -$0.02, beating estimates.

The company raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $830–860m; the stock jumped in premarket trading. Management cites strong booking trends for 2026–2028 but warns of headwinds from high fuel costs and geopolitical risks. » Altro su de.investing.com

Director L. Dyson Dryden sold 52,747 Lindblad Expeditions shares in an open-market trade on May 29, 2026, realizing about $1.2 million while retaining 988,054 shares (a 5.07% reduction of his direct stake). The sale followed a strong share-price rally (shares were up 118.8% year-over-year) and occurred after Lindblad reported solid Q1 results with revenue up 16% to $208 million and net income rising to $6 million. Management guides 2026 revenue of $800–$850 million, and the transaction appears to lock in gains rather than signal a loss of confidence given Dryden’s still-large holding. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com
