what happened
Royal Caribbean Group reported third-quarter EPS of $6.45 and adjusted EPS of $6.57, above the company's guidance. Revenue rose 9% year on year to $5.6 billion, adjusted EBITDA reached $2.5 billion, and load factor was 112%.
The company raised its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $17.85–$17.95 per share. TradingView, citing a press release distributed by PR Newswire, said strong demand and lower costs were partly offset by higher fuel costs and foreign exchange effects.
The company also announced a 50% stake in a joint venture with Sandals, with closing expected in 2027.
why it matters
A beat and a higher profit outlook matter for the whole cruise sector: demand and pricing look solid, while fuel costs remain the main risk to margins.
