Carnival

Carnival reported record third-quarter revenue of $8.44 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.43, beating expectations, while adjusted EBITDA stagnated due to higher fuel costs. Management under CEO Josh Weinstein slightly raised the fiscal-year outlook, reported record booking intake and announced buybacks and early bond repayments, which drove debt significantly lower and led S&P to raise the rating to investment grade. Analysts expect moderate revenue and EBITDA growth for 2026/27; risks remain high fuel prices and possible interest-rate hikes that could weigh on booking behavior and margins. » Altro su finanzen.net

Carnival reported record revenue of $6.7 billion and a net profit of $537 million (adjusted $569 million) in Q2 2026. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $1.6 billion, customer deposits reached a record $9 billion, and 93 percent of capacity for the current fiscal year is sold. The company is using higher cash flow to reduce debt and interest costs, has resumed dividend payments and launched share buybacks, but remains exposed to fuel price increases and geopolitical risks. The stock will hinge on how quickly Carnival converts higher pricing, full occupancy and rising cash flow into further debt reduction and rising profits. » Altro su finanzen.net
