Royal Caribbean approaches fiscal third-quarter earnings report
Analysts expect quarterly profit growth as the cruise company prepares to release its fiscal third-quarter 2026 results.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is expected to report fiscal third-quarter 2026 earnings soon, with analysts projecting profit of $6.36 per share. That estimate would represent a 10.6% increase from earnings of $5.75 per share in the same quarter a year earlier.
For the full fiscal year, analysts forecast earnings of $17.79 per share, up 13.8% from $15.64 in fiscal 2025. They expect earnings to rise another 13% to $20.11 per share in fiscal 2027.
The company’s shares gained 10.3% over the preceding 52 weeks, trailing the S&P 500 Index’s 16.2% increase during the same period.
Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Woronka upgraded Royal Caribbean to Buy and assigned a $299 price target, contending that a recent decline in the shares had gone too far and left room for gains. Among 26 analysts covering the stock, 19 had Strong Buy ratings, one rated it Moderate Buy and six recommended Hold.
