Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s share price was $333.17 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 2 weeks. That is 16.0% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $243 and $348, and at that close it sat 86% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +387% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. pay? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. paid $5.00 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $1.50 for Jun 2026.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies. [S&P 500 companies](https://www.sectoralpha.in/sp-500-stocks)

## Is Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. profitable? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. earned $1.1 B of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −6.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $4.3 B. That is 23.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.2 B. For the full year, FY25 profit was $4.3 B (+48.3% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.3 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +25.1% and revenue +9.1%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. make, and is it growing? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. reported $4.8 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +6.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 85.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $17.9 B. The last four reported quarters add to $18.7 B. FY25 revenue was $17.9 B, +8.8% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.1% on average, against 85.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +8.7%, against +10.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +22.1%, against +32.6% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. keep? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s operating margin was 27.1% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.3 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between −252.5% and 27.4%. The latest quarter is within that range. Across 5 years it has been between −252.5% and 27.4%, and FY25's 27.4% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −2.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −2.4 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 183% of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $6.5 B of operating cash against $4.3 B of profit. After $5.2 B of spending on assets, $1.2 B was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s cash go? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $12.4 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 23.0% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $12.4 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s P/E is 19.7×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 51% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 19.7×, over 3.1 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +42.9% while the price moved +30.1%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +53.4% a year; about +71.6% a year came from earnings growth and about −18.2 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. business getting better or worse? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s business is giving mixed signals. Growth is slowing from a very fast pace: profit growth has eased from +182.9% at its peak to +22.1%, but the business is still expanding, with ROCE steady at 16.8%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. earn on its capital? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. earned a ROE of 42% in FY25. That is up from a low of −103% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.2 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 23.8% net margin and 0.43× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 23.8% net margin × 0.43× asset turnover × 4.06× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 41.6% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 15.4% − 12.2% = +3.2 percentage points. The 12.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. ## Does Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. have too much debt? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. has total debt of $23.5 B against shareholder equity of $10.5 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 2.25× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 4.28 in FY21 to 2.15 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. shareholding pattern? 5.0% of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. from balance-sheet trouble? For Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., the Z-score is 2.25. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.25 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. rank in its industry? 59.5 out of 100, rank 4 of 14 in Travel Services, with 81% of the evidence available. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. scores 59.5 out of 100 against the 14 companies it is compared with in Travel Services, ranking 4. Relative strength against the index is 9.3%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.1 + 16.2 + 12.4 + 14.8 = 59.5. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. compared with? Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. ranks 4 of 14 Travel Services companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 59.5 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
