Read MoreHide Full Article
Royal Caribbean Group (RCL - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2020 results on Oct 29. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 30.2%.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s third-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of $4.92 per share. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported earnings per share of $4.27. The consensus mark for revenues is $55.7 million, suggesting a decline of 98.3% from the year-ago reported figure.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
Royal Caribbean’s third-quarter results are likely to have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Moreover, dismal passenger ticket revenues on account of the company’s limited cruise operations as well as lower onboard and other revenues are likely to get reflected on the third-quarter top line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for passenger ticket revenues and onboard and other revenues is currently pegged at $27 million and $17 million, respectively, indicating a decline of 98.8% and 98% from the prior-year quarter.
Moreover, quarterly earnings are likely to have been negatively impacted by cash burn. The company estimates cash burn between $250 million to $290 million per month for the quarter. This includes ongoing ship operating expenses, administrative expenses, debt service, hedging costs and anticipated necessary CapEx.
