It’s early in the fourth-quarter earnings season, but early data indicates a strong start.

(Reuters) -Royal Caribbean said on Tuesday that 2025 was shaping up "to be another great year", with a near 23% jump expected in adjusted earnings, as it benefits from record prices and new river cruise itineraries. Its shares jumped 12% in early trading after the company also forecast full-year adjusted earnings of $14.35 to $14.65 per share, largely above analysts' estimates of $14.41, according to data compiled by LSEG. Royal Caribbean said its "WAVE" season -- a period at the start of a year when cruise companies offer deals and promotions to drive bookings -- was off to a record start, with bookings in line with the prior years despite higher prices.

XPLR Infrastructure said on Tuesday it will suspend its distribution to unitholders for an indefinite period, sending the company's shares down 30%. The move comes as XPLR looks to reinvest most of its cash flow to fund its renewable energy investments. "The changes we are announcing today are intended to eliminate the need to issue equity," said Chairman John Ketchum.

Higher prices and more onboard revenue helped lift profit at Royal Caribbean.
