OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OSW), a leading provider of health and wellness services on cruise ships, received a Buy rating from William Blair analyst Sharon Zackfia. The company's shares closed at $21.75 on July 2, 2025. Zackfia has a 12.1% average return and a 51% success rate on recommended stocks. The analyst consensus rating is Strong Buy, with an average price target of $22.67.

The analyst's positive outlook is based on OneSpaWorld's strong second-quarter financial results and its strategic expansion of higher-value services and new health and wellness centers. Total revenue for the quarter increased 7% to a record $240.7 million, while income from operations rose 17% to $22.1 million. Net income jumped 27% to $19.9 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $30.5 million [1].

OneSpaWorld's MediSpa services, which offer medical aesthetic treatments, saw over 20% growth due to the introduction of new technologies such as Simage FLX and CoolSculpting Elite. The company also expanded its services to more ships, with MediSpa offerings available on 147 ships at the end of the quarter, up from 144 ships at the end of 2024 [1].

The company's asset-light business model, which emphasizes operational scalability and profitability through minimal ownership of fixed assets, continues to drive strong free cash flow. OneSpaWorld's capital-efficient strategy allows it to invest in growth while returning value to shareholders through quarterly dividends.

In addition to its strong financial performance, OneSpaWorld is also making strides in embracing AI technologies. The company is currently piloting an AI-driven initiative focused on yield improvement and operational efficiency, with measurable financial impact expected to begin in Q2 2026 [1].

The analyst consensus rating of Strong Buy, along with the company's strong financial results and strategic expansion, suggests that OneSpaWorld is well-positioned to continue delivering strong results for its stakeholders and shareholders in fiscal 2025 and beyond.
