Carnival Corporation (CCL) shares sailed higher in intraday trading Tuesday when the cruise operator pꦫosted a surprising quarterly profit and boosted its guidance as customers sp💜ent more to sail. 

The company reported second-quarter adjusted 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earnings per share (EPS) of $0.11, while analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha expected a per-share loss of $0.02. Revenue was up 17.7% to $5.78 billion, also above estimates.

Revenue, along with 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:operating income of $560 million, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, 🦄depreciation, ༒and amortization (EBITDA) of $1.2 billion, and booking levels all set♏ second-quarter records. Total customer deposits of $8.3 bilꦏlion were an all-time high.

Carnival said the results were driven by higher ticket prices, increased onboard spe🍸nding by passengers, and the timing of expenses between quarters.
