On July 13, Royal Caribbean rose 3.19% in regular trading, trading at $297.3/share, with turnover of $136 million. The move was driven by continued bullish sentiment following BMO Capital's initiation of coverage with a $370 price target, implying approximately 25% upside from current levels.

Additionally, the company is scheduled to report Q2 earnings on July 28 before market open, with consensus EPS expectations of $3.92, above the $3.60 actual EPS delivered in Q1. Market participants appear to be positioning ahead of the report, anticipating continued strong demand trends. The full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $17.10-$17.50, issued alongside Q1 results, had already exceeded FactSet estimates at the time.
