Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd: what insiders have been doing
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, founded in 1997, is a Retail company based in Miami, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 33 filings signed by 14 insiders.
No insider bought on the market over the period, while 6 insiders filed 11 sales totalling €25.9M. Wilhelmsen Arne Alexander filed the largest sale, €11.2M, on 27 February 2026.
The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives.
With 33 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 19 filings across the 5,816 companies we follow on the same exchange. Our records for Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd go back to 2016, with 3 purchases and 63 sales on the open market in total. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts revenue at 17.93 bn USD and net income at 4.27 bn USD, and the dividend at 3.50 USD per share.
Other companies in the same sector with recent insider buying flagged by our signals: GameStop Corp. and Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
