On August 3, Royal Caribbean Cruises rose 3.05% in pre-market trading, trading at $327.23/share, with turnover of $524,000.

On the news front, following a strong Q2 earnings beat, multiple Wall Street institutions raised their target prices in quick succession. Citi lifted its target from $327 to $362 while maintaining a Buy rating, Susquehanna raised to $372 with a Positive rating, and Wells Fargo raised to $388 while maintaining an Overweight rating.
