Carnival Corporation's Financial Results

  • Carnival Corporation achieved stronger-than-expected results in the third quarter, prompting an upgrade of its full-year forecast, with a surge in booking volumes outpacing capacity expansion.

  • Despite the upbeat outlook, Carnival’s stock fell by nearly 4% in late trading on Monday, attributed to a forecast for net yields that did not meet market expectations.

Carnival Corporation (CCL) has raised its full-year outlook for the third time this year following impressive third-quarter results, highlighting that booking levels are significantly outstripping capacity growth.

However, tarnishing the positive news, Carnival’s shares declined nearly 4% during late trading on Monday. This drop may be linked to a wave of profit-taking, as the stock had surged by 23% up to that point in 2025.

Another factor contributing to the dip in stock price is Carnival’s projection for passenger revenue, which fell short of analyst expectations even amid solid booking numbers. The company forecasts that net yields will increase by 5.3% in 2025, compared to the 5.79% growth anticipated by analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha. Net yields assess the income generated from passengers after deductions for commissions and other expenses per cruise day.

The cruise industry serves as an important barometer of discretionary consumer spending, heavily reliant on consumers having disposable income. An increase in discretionary spending usually reflects a robust overall economic environment.

CEO Josh Weinstein highlighted that Carnival currently has “nearly half of 2026 booked, mirroring record levels from last year but at historically elevated prices for both our North America and Europe segments.” He emphasized that “booking trends have consistently improved since May, with volumes exceeding last year’s figures and significantly outpacing capacity growth,” noting that the third quarter saw record net income and revenue alongside a 4.6% rise in net yields year-on-year.

For the third quarter, Carnival reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.43 with revenues amounting to $8.15 billion. These figures surpassed analysts’ consensus estimates of $1.32 EPS and $8.11 billion in revenue, respectively. According to Citi analysts, the “EBITDA outperformance” during the quarter was largely due to enhanced pricing power and improved cost management.

Carnival has increased its full-year guidance, attributing it to “enhanced net yields and effective management of costs and the balance sheet.” The company projects adjusted net income to be nearly 55% higher than in 2024, reflecting an increase of $235 million over its June forecast. It is anticipating adjusted EBITDA of about $7.05 billion, up 15% from 2024 and exceeding the prior guidance of $6.9 billion.
