FY EPS boosted to $2.22 by Carnival, but EBITDA outlook trimmed due to Iran war, fuel costs
Summary
Carnival reported Q2 results, raising its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to approximately $2.22, a slight increase from its prior forecast. However, the company simultaneously trimmed its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook, citing weaker bookings linked to the Iran war and rising fuel costs. This provides specific details on the mixed guidance following yesterday's general announcement of a raised full-year outlook. The geopolitical and cost pressures impacting EBITDA are a key concern for near-term margins.
