Royal Caribbean Earnings
The company is expected to report a loss of $3.90 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Royal Caribbean’s earnings lagged estimates in the past two quarters of 2021, and given the concerns about COVID-19 restrictions to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the past few months, the company is likely to miss estimates again in the fourth quarter.
Overall, the consensus among analysts is a Hold rating based on 4 Holds and 1 Sell.
