Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE: RCL) operates cruise sailings. BofA Securities raised its price target to $365. At $335.18 when the target was posted, the stock stood about 8.9% below it.

The higher target comes as Royal Caribbean Group targets adjusted earnings per share in the $20 range for 2027 under its Perfecta program. Stronger bookings, capacity growth and operating efficiencies support the goal, as highlighted by Zacks Investment Research. In its third-quarter 2026 update, Royal Caribbean Group said it remained on track based on the current forward fuel-price curve.

Recent booking volumes grew in the mid-teens year over year, and bookings for 2027 sailings rose in the high teens. Booked positions for 2026 and 2027 reached records. Royal Caribbean Group expects capacity to grow 4.5% next year, though fuel costs and roughly 200 basis points of yield headwinds in the first quarter of 2027 could challenge the earnings goal.

Royal Caribbean Group gained nearly 16% in October after strong third-quarter results and upbeat analyst views, as highlighted by The Motley Fool.
