Verdict: Hit

Royal Caribbean meldete am 28. Juli 2026 einen bereinigten EPS von 4,21 USD je Aktie und übertraf damit den Konsensus (je nach Quelle 3,93–3,97 USD) um rund 0,24–0,28 USD bzw. ca. 6–7 %. Das Unternehmen lag damit auch oberhalb der eigenen Guidance von 4,00–4,10 USD. Treiber waren starke Nachfrage, höhere Net Yields (+1,2 %, 100 Bp über Guidance), solide Bordausgaben und Rekordbuchungspreise, die geopolitische Störungen in Europa mehr als kompensierten. RCL hob zudem die Jahresguidance auf 17,73–17,87 USD an. Quellen: StockTitan (PR Newswire-Release), Alphastreet, TradingView/Zacks, ChartMill.
