Royal Caribbean Cruises' stock soared 5.66% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, showing a significant rebound in the cruise sector.
The recovery follows a broad selloff in the prior session that was driven by oil price surges due to geopolitical tensions related to the Iran conflict, which pressured fuel-intensive cruise operators. JPMorgan had recently cut its earnings forecast for the company.
Underpinning the recovery is Royal Caribbean's strong first-quarter earnings report, with revenue growing 11.33% year-over-year to $4.452 billion and net income increasing 28.90% to $941 million. The company also raised its full-year guidance, providing fundamental support for the share price recovery.
