CCL has scheduled its Q1 2026 earnings call for March 27 at 10 a.m. EDT (2 p.m. GMT) alongside the morning release of its financial results. The company carries $21.8B in net debt, lacks fuel hedges and its $0.15 dividend faces pressure from rising fuel costs.
1. Q1 Earnings Call Scheduled
Carnival Corporation & plc will release its first quarter 2026 financial results on March 27, with a conference call at 10 a.m. EDT (2 p.m. GMT). A live simulcast will be accessible via the company’s investor websites, enabling analysts and shareholders to review performance metrics in real time.
2. Debt and Fuel Cost Risks
