Royal Caribbean Cruises Plunges 5.85% Despite EPS Beat

On July 29, 2025, Royal Caribbean Cruises experienced a 5.85% drop in pre-market trading.

Royal Caribbean Group reported a second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $4.41, surpassing estimates. However, the revenue of $4.5 billion slightly missed expectations. The company highlighted robust demand and strategic cost management as key factors driving its performance.

Despite the slight miss in revenue, Royal Caribbean's stock rose 4% before the bell after the company raised its annual profit forecast. This move was driven by resilient demand for cruise services, indicating a positive outlook for the company's future performance.

During the last quarter, the company reported an EPS beat by $0.17, which led to a 0.77% drop in the share price on the subsequent day. This suggests that while the company is performing well, there may be some volatility in the stock price due to market reactions to earnings reports.
