Calm Seas Awaiting RCL Stock in 2026
When the curtain closes on 2025, a mixed year for cruise stocks will conclude. Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) is part of that muddled scenario. At periscope depth, things look all right, as the stock is higher by about 12% year to date.
Beneath the surface, it's a different story. A sell-off that commenced in September and one hastened last month despite a solid set of third-quarter results has the cruise giant residing nearly 30% below its 52-week high. That's a bear market and then some. Given that slide, it's understandable that some investors are willing to let this stock set sail without them.
