Summary
Carnival Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 results with all-time high net income of $1.9 billion, adjusted net income of $2.0 billion, and record revenues and net yields, and raised its full-year 2026 adjusted net income outlook by more than $150 million versus June guidance despite about $150 million in higher fuel costs. CEO Josh Weinstein attributed the results to accelerating demand and cost discipline, and CFO David Bernstein said nearly $1.2 billion of share repurchases and dividends have been funded by operating cash flow.
