Royal Caribbean Group stock is trading at EUR 277.85 at Lang & Schwarz at 17:07:26 Berlin time on October 29, 2026. That is 4.57 percent above the EUR 265.70 quote recorded in the previous own report on October 28, a separate comparison from any Xetra session result.

The new operating information came from Royal Caribbean Group's third-quarter report published on October 27, 2026. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 6.57 and total revenue of USD 5.591 billion. Revenue increased 9 percent year over year, while adjusted EBITDA reached USD 2.539 billion.

Demand lifted the quarterly result

In the AAP News report carrying the company's release, Royal Caribbean said the quarter benefited from strong close-in demand and lower costs linked to expense timing. Net yields increased 0.9 percent as reported and 0.6 percent in constant currency, with Europe and the Caribbean highlighted as key demand areas. The load factor was 112 percent.

Guidance moves higher

Royal Caribbean raised its full-year adjusted EPS outlook to USD 17.85-17.95, from USD 17.73-17.87 previously. The company expects full-year revenue to grow 9 percent and constant-currency net yields to increase approximately 2.1 percent. Higher fuel costs and currency exchange rates partly offset the improvement.

Management also said booking volumes had increased in the mid-teens since the previous earnings call, with bookings for 2027 sailings up in the high teens. The company expects its Sandals and Beaches Resorts investment to close in early 2027, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.
