Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL) saw its stock price surge 6.65% during pre-market trading on Thursday, following the release of its financial results and forward-looking statements.

The significant pre-market movement was driven by the company reporting its 2025 results and issuing robust 2026 guidance, expecting another strong year of financial performance with both revenue and earnings projected to grow by double digits. The company provided a specific outlook for full-year adjusted earnings per share in the range of USD 17.7 to USD 18.1.

Additionally, Royal Caribbean announced a series of agreements with the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard for the construction of its new Discovery Class ships, including two firm orders with options for four additional vessels. This expansion plan, coupled with the positive financial trajectory, contributed to heightened investor confidence during the pre-market session.
