Carnival Corp. (CCL, $66.98) Has 28% Earnings Growth, But Is Concerned About Fuel Costs

Carnival Corp. reported solidly positive growth in its earnings, but hinted at the possibility of higher fuel costs pulling down profits throughout the year.

The cruise line operator’s fiscal third-quarter profit increased 28% to $1.71 billion,. Per share earnings of $2.41 beat Wall Street expectations of $2.31 per share.

Revenue jumped 5.8 % to $5.84 billion – topping consensus estimate of $5.82 billion.

But as the firm is wary of fuel costs eating into profits, it projected its per-share earnings to range from 65 cents to 69 cents for the current quarter ending in November – which is a lower range compared to Wall Street estimates for 73 cents per share.
