Royal Caribbean Cruises stock dividends

Royal Caribbean Cruises dividend payout ratio: 21.08% of net profits

Recently Royal Caribbean Cruises has paid out, on average, around 21.08% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.5% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Royal Caribbean Cruises shareholders could enjoy a 1.5% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Royal Caribbean Cruises's case, that would currently equate to about $3.05 per share.

While Royal Caribbean Cruises's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Royal Caribbean Cruises is investing more in its future growth.

Royal Caribbean Cruises's most recent dividend payout was on October 13, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by September 25, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Royal Caribbean Cruises stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Royal Caribbean Cruises stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Royal Caribbean Cruises's P/E ratio

  Royal Caribbean Cruises's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 17x. In other words, Royal Caribbean Cruises shares trade at around 17 times recent earnings.

  That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

• Royal Caribbean Cruises's PEG ratio

  Royal Caribbean Cruises's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 0.7851. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Royal Caribbean Cruises's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Royal Caribbean Cruises's EBITDA

  Royal Caribbean Cruises's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $6.3 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Royal Caribbean Cruises stock ever split?

Royal Caribbean Cruises's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on August 2, 1998. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Royal Caribbean Cruises stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Royal Caribbean Cruises stocks, which in turn could have impacted Royal Caribbean Cruises's stock price.
