Figma Shares Indicated To Open $105/$110
Investing.com - Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE:RCL) received a reiterated Hold rating from Truist Securities, which maintained its $337.00 price target despite mixed quarterly results. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has delivered an impressive 115.4% return over the past year, though current analysis suggests the stock may be trading above its Fair Value.
The cruise operator reported second-quarter earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, primarily due to better-than-expected costs and upside from its TUI (LON:TUIT) brand, though revenues came in slightly below forecasts. The Q2 earnings per share beat the mid-point of guidance by $0.33 and consensus by $0.29. InvestingPro analysis reveals that 8 analysts have recently revised their earnings estimates upward for the upcoming period, with the company maintaining strong revenue growth of 13.66% over the last twelve months.
Truist Securities noted that investors will likely focus on Royal Caribbean’s third-quarter EPS guidance of $5.60 (at midpoint), which falls below the consensus estimate of $5.83. Additionally, the company’s Q3 Net Yield guidance of 2.3-2.8% is below Street expectations of 3.5%.
The implied second-half 2025 EPS of $8.39 also trails consensus estimates of $8.65, though full-year EPS will benefit from an additional $0.07 per share from lower than previously expected depreciation and net interest expenses.
Truist Securities suggested the stock may struggle despite Royal Caribbean’s track record of quarterly beats, particularly considering its significant outperformance year-to-date and over the past two years. InvestingPro data shows the company has achieved a 45.86% return year-to-date, with an overall Financial Health score rated as "GREAT".
