Wall Street wants $1.35 a share from Carnival, down from $1.43 a year ago. Will the cruise giant clear that bar on Sept 29?

Carnival Corporation reported fiscal third-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.43 per share on September 29, 2026, beating the $1.35 consensus estimate compiled by Wall Street analysts. The cruise operator posted net income of $1.92 billion and revenue of $8.44 billion, topping the $8.36 billion analysts had forecast, and shares rose roughly 11% following the report.

The beat was driven by strong booking volumes and onboard spending, as cruise demand has continued to run ahead of pre-pandemic levels throughout 2026. Carnival's adjusted per-share figure matched the $1.43 it posted in the same quarter a year earlier, even though analysts had modeled a year-over-year decline to $1.35.

The question resolved yes: Carnival cleared the Street's bar. A majority of the Predict Six community, 55%, had forecast this correctly.
