What the filing says
Royal Caribbean reported Q3 2026 Adjusted EPS of $6.57 (vs. guidance), beating expectations on strong close-in demand and cost timing, and raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance to $17.85–$17.95 (from prior guidance). Separately, in September 2026, the company announced an agreement to acquire a 50% equity interest in Sandals and Beaches Resorts (18 resorts + 3 under development across the Caribbean, plus 1,000+ acres of undeveloped land) for an unspecified purchase price; the equity-method investment is expected to close in early 2027, be immediately accretive, and contribute to 2027 earnings (1-quarter accounting lag), with full 2027 impact detailed upon close.
Why this rating
Q3 beat and raised FY2026 guidance modest but positive for ~$79B company. Sandals/Beaches JV (50%, price unstated, ~5% of reported guests currently dual-category consumers) is strategic diversification into all-inclusive, but early-stage and conditional on close. Neither event materially reshapes trajectory.
