Latest Earnings Insight

Carnival Corporation's impressive turnaround story continues to capture investor attention as the company gears up to announce its Q2 2025 earnings on June 24. Following a remarkable Q1 performance where earnings per share (EPS) of $0.13 significantly outpaced the forecast of $0.02, Carnival is now expected to report an EPS of $0.24, a notable increase from $0.11 in the same quarter last year. This aligns with the consensus estimate, although the whisper number suggests a slightly more optimistic EPS of $0.30. The cruising giant's strategic focus on debt reduction and operational efficiency has been pivotal, especially as it navigates a post-pandemic recovery. With a revenue estimate of $6.20 billion, Carnival is poised to continue its growth trajectory, building on the record $5.81 billion revenue achieved in Q1. The company's market cap of over $29 billion reflects strong market sentiment, buoyed by expectations of a 20% earnings growth in 2025 and the potential to meet its 2026 SEA Change EBITDA target a year early. As Carnival sails towards its earnings announcement, investors will be keenly watching for any updates on its strategic initiatives and future outlook, particularly in light of its recent record-setting financial results.
