Carnival's (CCL) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Carnival Corporation (CCL - Free Report) operates as a cruise and vacation company. Notably, Carnival’s cruise ships offer various itineraries to passengers under leading cruise brands through its four primary segments — North America cruise brands, EAA cruise brands, Cruise Support and Tour and Other.
Carnival has adopted a strategy to grow beyond its familiar itineraries and capitalize on Asian opportunities. Moreover, strong marketing initiatives have been helping the company to keep its booking strong over the past few years at most of its itineraries, thereby resulting in improvement in revenue yields. Also, consistent efforts to reduce fuel consumption have aided the company to generate profits.
Investors should note that two estimates have moved higher for CCL with one downward revision in the last 30 days. CCL’s earnings have been strong over the past few quarters. In fact, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 15.42%. Revenues also posted positive surprises in all of the trailing four quarters.
We have highlighted some of the key stats from this just-revealed announcement below:
Earnings: CCL beats on earnings. Our consensus earnings estimate called for earnings per share of 60 cents, and the company reported earnings of 68 cents per share.
Revenues: CCL reported revenues of $4.4 billion. This surpassed our consensus estimate of $4.3 billion.
Key Stats to Note: On a constant dollar basis, net revenue yields (net revenue per available lower berth day) increased 4.8% in second-quarter fiscal 2018, which topped the company's March guidance of 2.5% to 3.5% growth.
Stock Price Impact: At the time of writing, the stock price of Carnival was down 4.9% during pre-market trading hours following the earnings release.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
