After conducting extensive checks, SunTurst believes that Royal Caribbean's advertised pricing growth has accelerated since it last provided guidance in April. Consequently, the firm thinks there is a "strong chance" that Royal Caribbean will raise its guidance when it reports its Q2 results. SunTrust keeps a Buy rating on the shares.

Sees Q2 fuel consumption 416,000 metric tons.

Reports Q1 revenue $3.7B, consensus $3.69B. Load factors in the first quarter were 107%. "Wow, what a great start to the year! Demand for our leading brands and the incredible experiences they deliver continues to be very robust, resulting in outperformance in the first quarter, a further increase of full year earnings guidance, and 60% expected earnings growth year over year," said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. "Building on this momentum, we expect to achieve all our Trifecta financial goals in 2024, which allows us to focus on a new era of growth to drive long-term shareholder returns and take a greater share of the rapidly growing $1.9 trillion global vacation market."
