RCL rose $3.24, or 1.00%, from $322.50 to $325.74 over the supplied week. The stock first slipped to $321.94 on July 30 and $318.30 on July 31, then recovered sharply to $324.00 on August 3 and added 0.54% on August 4. The rebound coincided with a broadly stronger market as Middle East tensions eased and investors responded to strong earnings, with the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq 100 all posting substantial gains in the cited sessions. Company-specific support came from Royal Caribbean’s second-quarter call: management raised its full-year earnings outlook and highlighted strengthening close-in demand and record-priced 2027 bookings, although Europe continued to limit yield upside. No material late-week reversal is evident.
